Starbucks Coffee Company — Tazo, Flavored Sweetened Herbal Tea, Iced Passion
by Starbucks Coffee CompanyMRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
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 MRT-tested substances: Cane Sugar (identified as ‘sugar’), Citric Acid, Orange, and Cinnamon. The presence of ‘natural tropical flavors’ and ‘fruit juice extract’ introduces additional unknown variables that may contain reactive substances not explicitly listed. Due to the trigger count exceeding three, this product is unsuitable for the early stages of the ImmunoCalm protocol.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 4
- Safe Ingredients: 6
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 2 (natural tropical flavors, fruit juice extract [color])
- 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 |
|---|---|---|
| sugar | Cane Sugar | Direct Match |
| citric acid | Citric Acid | Chemical Match |
| orange peel | Orange | Direct Match |
| cinnamon | Cinnamon | Direct Match |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel: natural tropical flavors, fruit juice extract [color]. Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety.
LEAP Protocol Guidance
With 4 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
Cane sugar sensitivity is specific to sugarcane-derived sweeteners and is distinct from glucose intolerance. Look for it in ingredient lists as sucrose, cane juice, or turbinado sugar.
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.
Orange is an MRT-tested citrus fruit. Found in juice, marmalade, candied peel, and as natural orange flavoring. Cross-reactivity with other citrus fruits is not assumed on the MRT panel.
Cinnamon is tested on the MRT panel. Found in baked goods, cereals, spice blends, and flavored beverages. Contains coumarin, which is also separately tested on the chemical panel.
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.
