The Dannon Company, Inc. — Dannon, Light & Fit, Nonfat Yogurt, Strawberry
by The Dannon Company, Inc.MRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
The Dannon Company, 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 is clinically complex, containing 7 MRT-tested substances. It includes primary food allergens/sensitivities (Cow’s Milk, Yogurt, Strawberry, Corn) and several chemical triggers (Fructose, Citric Acid derivatives, and Red #40). Furthermore, the presence of ‘natural and artificial flavors’ introduces unknown variables. Given the density of reactive components, this product is unsuitable for Phase 1 or Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 7
- Safe Ingredients: 8
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 1 (natural and artificial 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 |
|---|---|---|
| cultured grade a non fat milk | Cow’s Milk, Yogurt | Direct Match |
| strawberries | Strawberry | Direct Match |
| modified food starch | Corn | Probable Match |
| fructose | Fructose | Chemical Match |
| modified corn starch | Corn | Direct Match |
| sodium citrate | Citric Acid | Chemical Match |
| red 40 | FD&C Red #40 | Chemical Match |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel: natural and artificial flavors. Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety.
LEAP Protocol Guidance
With 7 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
One of the most commonly reactive substances on the MRT panel. Found in dairy products and many processed foods as whey, casein, or milk solids. Cross-reactive with goat and sheep milk in some patients.
Yogurt is tested independently from whole cow's milk on the MRT panel. The fermentation process alters some milk proteins, meaning you may react differently to yogurt vs. milk.
Strawberry is an MRT-tested fruit found in yogurts, ice cream, jams, and flavored beverages. Also appears as "natural strawberry flavor" in many processed foods.
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.
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.
A chemical additive tested on the MRT panel. Industrially produced from Aspergillus niger mold, not citrus fruit. Found in beverages, canned goods, candy, and as a preservative in thousands of products.
Allura Red AC is the most widely used food dye and one of the most reactive chemical additives on the MRT panel. Found in candy, beverages, cereals, snack foods, and even some medications.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 7 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 7 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.
