by Clif Bar and CompanyMRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
Clif Bar and Company 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 9 MRT-tested substances, making it unsuitable for the initial phases of the LEAP protocol. Additionally, it contains ‘natural flavors,’ which are of unknown composition and may contain additional hidden triggers. Due to the high number of reactive components, this product should only be introduced in Phase 3 after individual tolerance for all ingredients has been clinically verified.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 9
- Safe Ingredients: 1
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 1 (natural flavors)
- 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 |
|---|---|---|
| dates | Date | Direct Match |
| pumpkin seeds | Pumpkin | Direct Match |
| almonds | Almond | Direct Match |
| pea protein | Green Pea | Direct Match |
| cashew butter | Cashew | Direct Match |
| unsweetened chocolate | Cocoa | Direct Match |
| sesame seeds | Sesame | Direct Match |
| cinnamon | Cinnamon | Direct Match |
| rosemary extract | Rosemary | Direct Match |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel: natural flavors. Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety.
LEAP Protocol Guidance

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
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.
Green pea is an MRT-tested legume increasingly used as pea protein in plant-based meats, protein powders, and dairy alternatives. Also found in soups and frozen vegetable blends.
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.
Cinnamon is tested on the MRT panel. Found in baked goods, cereals, spice blends, and flavored beverages. Contains coumarin, which is also separately tested on the chemical panel.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 9 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 9 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.
