Kind Inc. — Dark Chocolate Banana Fruit Bars, Dark Chocolate
by KIND Inc.MRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
Kind 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 6 MRT-tested substances: Banana, Apple, Cane Sugar, Cocoa, Lecithin (Soy), and Soybean. Multiple ingredients (unsweetened chocolate, cocoa powder, cocoa butter) map to the single trigger Cocoa. Additionally, the ingredient ‘soy lecithin’ flags both Lecithin (Soy) and Soybean. The presence of ‘natural flavor’ introduces an unknown variable. Given the high trigger count, this product is classified as high risk and requires practitioner guidance.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 6
- Safe Ingredients: 3
- 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:
| Ingredient | Maps To (MRT Panel) | Match Type |
|---|---|---|
| bananas | Banana | Direct Match |
| apples | Apple | Direct Match |
| sugar | Cane Sugar | Direct Match |
| unsweetened chocolate | Cocoa | Direct Match |
| cocoa powder | Cocoa | Direct Match |
| soy lecithin | Lecithin (Soy), Soybean | Direct Match |
| cocoa butter | Cocoa | Direct Match |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel: natural flavor. Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety.
LEAP Protocol Guidance
With 6 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
Apple is an MRT-tested fruit that appears in juice blends, baby food, applesauce, pectin-based products, and as a sweetener (apple juice concentrate) in many "natural" foods.
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.
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.
Soy lecithin is one of the most ubiquitous food additives, used as an emulsifier in chocolate, baked goods, and margarine. Even small amounts can trigger mediator release in sensitive patients.
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 6 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 6 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.
