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 is highly complex and contains 10 distinct MRT-tested substances. It includes a variety of grains (Oat, Rice), legumes (Peanut, Green Pea), and sweeteners (Cane Sugar, Date, Tapioca). Additionally, it contains the chemical additive Glycerin/Glycerol and ‘natural flavors,’ which are of unknown composition. Due to the high trigger count, this product is contraindicated for the early stages of the LEAP protocol.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 10
- Safe Ingredients: 3
- 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 |
|---|---|---|
| organic peanut butter | Peanut | Direct Match |
| organic rolled oats | Oat | Direct Match |
| organic brown rice syrup | Rice | Direct Match |
| organic cane syrup | Cane Sugar | Direct Match |
| organic date paste | Date | Direct Match |
| organic pea protein | Green Pea | Direct Match |
| organic high oleic sunflower oil | Sunflower | Direct Match |
| organic tapioca syrup | Tapioca | Direct Match |
| vegetable glycerin | Glycerin/Glycerol | Chemical Match |
| organic unsweetened chocolate | Cocoa | Direct Match |
| sunflower lecithin | Sunflower | 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
With 10 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
Peanut is a legume (not a tree nut) tested on the MRT panel. Peanut oil, peanut butter, and peanut flour are all included. Distinct from IgE peanut allergy testing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Tapioca (cassava-derived starch) is MRT-tested. Increasingly used as a gluten-free thickener, in boba tea, puddings, and as modified food starch. Common in allergen-free baking.
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.
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.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 10 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 10 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.
