Clinical Product Assessment

The Quaker Oats Co./gatorade-van Camp 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 three MRT-tested chemical substances: Citric Acid (and its derivative sodium citrate), Glycerin/Glycerol, and FD&C Red #40. Additionally, multiple ingredients including ‘natural flavor’, ‘modified food starch’, and ‘caramel color’ represent unknown sources that may contain hidden MRT triggers such as Corn, Wheat, or additional chemicals. Due to the trigger count and the presence of complex unknowns, this product is not suitable for early elimination phases.

Risk Summary

  • Risk Classification: High Risk
  • MRT Triggers Identified: 3
  • Safe Ingredients: 5
  • Unknown/Ambiguous: 3 (natural flavor, modified food starch, caramel color)
  • 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
citric acid Citric Acid Chemical Match
sodium citrate Citric Acid Derivative
glycerol ester of rosin Glycerin/Glycerol 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 flavor, modified food starch, caramel color. Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety.

LEAP Protocol Guidance

With 3 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

⚗️
Citric Acid

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.

⚗️
Glycerin/Glycerol

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.

🔴
FD&C Red #40

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 3 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 3 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.
