Lipton — Tea & Honey Liquid Iced Tea Mix
by LiptonMRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
Lipton 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 6 MRT-tested substances, including food triggers (Honey, Tea, Carrot) and chemical additives (Glycerin, Citric Acid, and Sulfites, which map to Sodium Metabisulfite). Additionally, the presence of ‘natural flavor’ introduces unknown variables. Due to the high number of triggers, this product is unsuitable for the elimination or reintroduction phases of the LEAP protocol.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 6
- Safe Ingredients: 3
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 1 (natural flavor)
- LEAP Phase Compatibility: Phase 3 — Practitioner Guided
Flagged Ingredient Mapping
The following ingredients were identified as matching substances on the MRT 176 panel:
| Ingredient | Maps To (MRT Panel) | Match Type |
|---|---|---|
| honey | Honey | Direct Match |
| glycerin | Glycerin/Glycerol | Chemical Match |
| black tea powder | Tea | Direct Match |
| citric acid | Citric Acid | Chemical Match |
| caramel color (contains sulfites) | Sodium Metabisulfite | Chemical Match |
| carrot juice | Carrot | Direct Match |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel: natural flavor. Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety.
LEAP Protocol Guidance
With 6 MRT-tested substances identified, this product is not recommended during Phase 1 or Phase 2. Phase 3 (Maintenance) patients should consult their Certified LEAP Therapist.

Assessment Methodology
This assessment was generated using Wellbloom’s automated clinical analysis pipeline. Each ingredient was cross-referenced against the complete MRT 176 panel — including 149 food antigens and 27 chemical additives.
This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
Honey is tested as a distinct substance on the MRT panel. It contains proteins that can trigger mediator release independently of its sugar content. Found in many "natural" sweetened products.
Glycerin is a chemical additive tested on the MRT panel. Used as a humectant and sweetener in protein bars, toothpaste, medications, and processed foods. Can be derived from plant or animal fats.
Tea (Camellia sinensis) is MRT-tested. Covers black, green, white, and oolong teas. Distinct from caffeine sensitivity — you may react to tea proteins but not caffeine, or vice versa.
A chemical additive tested on the MRT panel. Industrially produced from Aspergillus niger mold, not citrus fruit. Found in beverages, canned goods, candy, and as a preservative in thousands of products.
Carrot is an individually tested vegetable on the MRT panel. Found in soups, baby food, juice blends, and many vegetable-based processed foods. Related to celery in the Apiaceae family.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 6 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 6 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.
