by Post Foods, LLCMRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
Post Foods, Llc 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, including both food and chemical triggers. The presence of Soybean, Corn derivatives (maltodextrin, dextrose), and various sugars/chemicals makes this product highly reactive for sensitive individuals. Additionally, the inclusion of ‘natural flavor’ introduces unknown variables that could contain further MRT triggers. It is unsuitable for the elimination or reintroduction phases.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 9
- Safe Ingredients: 1
- 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 |
|---|---|---|
| cane invert syrup | Cane Sugar | Direct Match |
| oat bran | Oat | Direct Match |
| maltodextrin | Corn | Hidden Source |
| soy protein isolate | Soybean | Direct Match |
| cocoa | Cocoa | Direct Match |
| fructose | Fructose | Chemical Match |
| brown rice flour | Rice | Direct Match |
| high oleic sunflower oil | Sunflower | Direct Match |
| dextrose | Corn | Hidden Source |
| glycerin | Glycerin/Glycerol | Chemical Match |
| unsweetened chocolate | 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 9 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
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.
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.
Corn derivatives are among the hardest triggers to avoid. Found as corn syrup, cornstarch, modified food starch, dextrose, maltodextrin, and citric acid in thousands of processed 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.
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.
Fructose is tested independently from cane sugar on the MRT panel. Found as high-fructose corn syrup, agave nectar, and crystalline fructose. MRT tests inflammatory mediator response, not malabsorption.
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.
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.
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.
