Clif Bar and Company — Fruit & Nut Trail Mix Bar
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 classified as high risk due to the presence of 8 MRT-tested substances: Peanut, Almond, Tapioca, Coconut, Rice, Cane Sugar, Honey, and Soybean. It also contains ‘natural flavor’ and ‘natural vitamin e’, which are unknown variables that may contain additional tested substances. Given the high trigger count, this product is unsuitable for the elimination or early reintroduction phases of the LEAP protocol.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 8
- Safe Ingredients: 4
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 2 (natural flavor, natural vitamin e (antioxidant))
- 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 peanuts | Peanut | Direct Match |
| almonds | Almond | Direct Match |
| organic tapioca syrup | Tapioca | Direct Match |
| organic coconut | Coconut | Direct Match |
| organic rice flour | Rice | Direct Match |
| organic cane sugar | Cane Sugar | Direct Match |
| organic honey | Honey | Direct Match |
| organic roasted soybeans | Soybean | Direct Match |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel: natural flavor, natural vitamin e (antioxidant). Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety.
LEAP Protocol Guidance
With 8 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Soy-derived ingredients appear in a wide range of processed foods including soy lecithin, soybean oil, and textured soy protein. One of the most prevalent hidden triggers.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 8 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 8 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.
