Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
The product assessment, based on the provided name ‘CHERRY ALMOND CLUSTERS WITH CACAO NIBS’, identifies five MRT-tested substances. Almond, Cherry, and Cacao (mapped to Cocoa) are direct food triggers. Furthermore, Cacao is a natural source of Caffeine and Phenylethylamine, both of which are specific chemical triggers on the MRT 176 panel. The term ‘clusters’ suggests the presence of unspecified binding agents or sweeteners (such as cane sugar or syrups), which are common MRT triggers but are not explicitly detailed in the text provided.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
Tree nut tested individually on the MRT panel. Almond flour and almond milk are common substitutes in elimination diets — verify your personal MRT results before using.
Cherry is an MRT-tested fruit found in juices, preserves, baked goods, and cherry flavoring. Maraschino cherries contain additional chemical additives that may also be reactive.
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.
Caffeine is tested as a chemical substance on the MRT panel. Found in coffee, tea, chocolate, energy drinks, and some medications. Sensitivity is to the compound itself, not the beverage.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 5 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 5 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.
