The J.M. Smucker Company — HUNGRY JACK, BUTTER PECAN SYRUP
by The J.M. Smucker CompanyMRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product contains 4 MRT-tested substances, including Corn, Fructose, Benzoic Acid, and Pecan. The presence of corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup provides a direct match for Corn and Fructose. Sodium benzoate is a chemical match for Benzoic Acid. Furthermore, while listed as a flavor, Pecan is a specifically tested food on the MRT 176 panel. The inclusion of ‘natural and artificial flavors’ introduces additional unknown variables. Due to the high trigger count, this product is not recommended for Phase 1 or Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
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 preservative tested on the MRT chemical panel. Found as sodium benzoate in soft drinks, pickles, salad dressings, and condiments. Also occurs naturally in cranberries and cinnamon.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 4 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 4 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.
