How can partners find out what is in the “natural flavors & colors” of some drink mixes? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by quirky-enby
I’m allergic to something in both the chai concentrate and the pumpkin spice syrup. But the only overlap in the ingredients list seems to be “natural flavors”

I’ll most likely be going back to my allergist anyway to get testing again since it needs to be updated, but the soonest appointment available is 3 months from now. So I’m trying to figure out what some of the more likely suspects are, just in case other flavors in the future may be a risk as well.

Context in case it helps: I’m in the US. I already am *very* allergic to sesame, so I take allergy precautions anyway. My biological family is full of “odd allergies” such as a relative is allergic to artificial cinnamon flavoring, but not real cinnamon, so it wouldn’t surprise me if it was something like that.

Both have cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. I’m not sure about other flavors but I know those three are in the advertising and flavor descriptions for both.
