by The J.M. Smucker CompanyMRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product is classified as HIGH_RISK due to the presence of three MRT-tested substances: Cocoa, Corn (found in corn starch and maltitol syrup), and Citric Acid (derived via sodium citrate). Additionally, the inclusion of ‘natural and artificial flavors’ introduces unknown variables that could contain further reactive substances. This combination makes the product unsuitable for the elimination or early reintroduction phases of the LEAP protocol.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) is tested as a standalone substance. Reactivity to cocoa affects all chocolate-containing products. Distinct from dairy or sugar reactions that often co-occur in chocolate.
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.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 3 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 3 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.
