The Quaker Oats Co./gatorade-van Camp — Gatorade, Thirst Quencher, Citrus Cooler
by The Quaker Oats Co./gatorade-Van CampMRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
The Quaker Oats Co./gatorade-van Camp 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 is classified as high risk due to the presence of 6 MRT-tested substances, including multiple chemical additives and food derivatives. Key triggers identified include synthetic dyes (Yellow 5 and 6), Citric Acid, Corn-derived dextrose, and Glycerin. The presence of ‘natural flavor’ adds further uncertainty as it may contain additional untested or hidden triggers. This product is not suitable for Phase 1 or 2 of the LEAP protocol.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 6
- Safe Ingredients: 4
- 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 |
|---|---|---|
| sugar | Cane Sugar | Direct Match |
| dextrose | Corn | Derivative Match |
| citric acid | Citric Acid | Chemical Match |
| sodium citrate | Citric Acid | Chemical Match |
| sucrose acetate isobutyrate | Cane Sugar | Derivative Match |
| glycerol ester of rosin | Glycerin/Glycerol | Chemical Match |
| yellow 5 | FD&C Yellow #5 | Chemical Match |
| yellow 6 | FD&C Yellow #6 | Chemical 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Tartrazine (Yellow #5) is an azo dye on the MRT chemical panel. Found in processed foods, beverages, and medications. Cross-reactivity with aspirin sensitivity has been documented in clinical literature.
Sunset Yellow FCF is a synthetic azo dye tested on the MRT chemical panel. Found in cereals, snack foods, candy, and some medications. Banned in several countries outside the US.
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.
