Clinical Product Assessment

Starbucks Coffee Company manufactures this product, which has been analyzed against the full MRT 176 panel — comprising 149 foods and 27 chemical additives — to identify potential immune-mediated sensitivities.

MRT Safety Assessment

This product contains 4 distinct MRT-tested substances: Corn, Whey, Cow’s Milk, and Turmeric. The product is heavily reliant on corn-derived ingredients (popcorn, corn oil, maltodextrin, and dextrose) and dairy-derived components (whey powder and butter powder). Additionally, the inclusion of ‘natural flavor’ introduces unknown variables which may contain additional hidden sensitivities.

Risk Summary

  • Risk Classification: High Risk
  • MRT Triggers Identified: 4
  • Safe Ingredients: 2
  • Unknown/Ambiguous: 1 (natural flavor)
  • LEAP Phase Compatibility: Phase 3 — Practitioner Guided

Understanding These Triggers

🌽
Corn

Corn derivatives are among the hardest triggers to avoid. Found as corn syrup, cornstarch, modified food starch, dextrose, maltodextrin, and citric acid in thousands of processed products.

🥛
Whey

Whey is a dairy-derived protein tested separately from whole cow's milk on the MRT panel. Found in protein powders, baked goods, processed cheese, and many sports nutrition products.

🥛
Cow's Milk

One of the most commonly reactive substances on the MRT panel. Found in dairy products and many processed foods as whey, casein, or milk solids. Cross-reactive with goat and sheep milk in some patients.

🟡
Turmeric

Turmeric is an MRT-tested spice increasingly popular in health products. Found in curry blends, mustard, golden milk, and as a natural food coloring. Contains curcumin.

What This Means For Your Diet

With 4 identified triggers, this product has a high concentration of MRT-tested substances. The probability that at least one of these triggers is reactive on your personal panel is statistically significant.

This product is not recommended during Phase 1 (Elimination) or Phase 2 (Reintroduction). It may only be considered during Phase 3 (Maintenance) after your Certified LEAP Therapist has confirmed that all 4 substances scored Green on your individual MRT results.

Products with 3 or more MRT panel triggers require individualized evaluation. Do not attempt to self-assess — your CLT has the clinical training to weigh multiple reactive substances and potential cross-reactivity.
