General Mills Sales Inc. — Cascadian Farm Organic Strawberry Granola
by GENERAL MILLS SALES INC.MRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
General Mills Sales Inc. 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 7 MRT-tested substances, including grains (oat, rice), sweeteners (cane sugar, honey), and various fats/fruits (sunflower, coconut, strawberry). Additionally, the inclusion of ‘natural flavor’ introduces an unknown variable that may contain further hidden MRT triggers. Due to the high number of tested substances, this product is contraindicated for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol. Patients in Phase 3 should consult their practitioner to ensure all individual components have been successfully reintroduced. This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 7
- Safe Ingredients: 2
- 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. Each ingredient is mapped to its corresponding panel analyte:
| Ingredient | Maps To (MRT Panel) | Match Type |
|---|---|---|
| whole grain oats | Oat | Direct Match |
| cane sugar | Cane Sugar | Direct Match |
| rice | Rice | Direct Match |
| sunflower oil | Sunflower | Direct Match |
| honey | Honey | Direct Match |
| dried coconut | Coconut | Direct Match |
| dried strawberries | Strawberry | Direct Match |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel and may contain hidden triggers: natural flavor. Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety. Common examples include ‘natural flavors’ (which can contain any of the 176 tested substances) and ‘spices’ (which may include tested spices like cinnamon, cumin, or black pepper).
LEAP Protocol Guidance
With 7 MRT-tested substances identified, this product is not recommended during Phase 1 or Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol. Phase 3 (Maintenance) patients should consult their Certified LEAP Therapist for personalized evaluation based on their individual MRT results.

Assessment Methodology
This assessment was generated using Wellbloom’s automated clinical analysis pipeline. Each ingredient in the product was cross-referenced against the complete MRT 176 panel — including 149 food antigens and 27 chemical additives. Ingredient-to-panel mapping uses direct matching, derivative identification (e.g., ‘whey’ maps to Cow’s Milk), and chemical compound recognition. Hidden trigger sources such as ‘natural flavors’ and ‘spices’ are flagged as unknown variables requiring individual verification.
This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
Oat is independently tested on the MRT panel. Found in oatmeal, granola, and many "gluten-free" products that use oat flour. Distinct from wheat sensitivity.
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.
Rice is often used as a "safe" base in elimination diets, but some patients do react to it. Verify with your MRT results before assuming rice is safe for your Phase 1 rotation.
Sunflower seed and sunflower oil are MRT-tested. Sunflower lecithin is increasingly used as a soy lecithin alternative. Found in chips, cooking oils, and many "allergen-friendly" products.
Honey is tested as a distinct substance on the MRT panel. It contains proteins that can trigger mediator release independently of its sugar content. Found in many "natural" sweetened products.
Coconut is tested as an individual substance on the MRT panel. Found as coconut oil, coconut milk, coconut cream, and coconut flour — all common substitutes in dairy-free and paleo diets.
Strawberry is an MRT-tested fruit found in yogurts, ice cream, jams, and flavored beverages. Also appears as "natural strawberry flavor" in many processed foods.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 7 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 7 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.
