Whole Foods Market, Inc. — Organic Peanut Butter & Cocoa Balls Sweetened Organic Corn & Whole Grain Oat Cereal with Organic Cocoa & the Delicious Goodness of Real Organic Peanut Butter Balls, Peanut Butter & Cocoa
by Whole Foods Market, Inc.MRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
Whole Foods Market, 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 7 MRT-tested substances: corn, cane sugar, peanut, oat, cocoa, rice, and sunflower. Additionally, ‘organic natural flavor’ is present, which represents an unknown variable as it may contain other tested substances. Because of the high number of potential triggers, this product is excluded from Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol. Patients should only consider this product during Phase 3 under the guidance of a practitioner. This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 7
- Safe Ingredients: 4
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 1 (organic 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. Each ingredient is mapped to its corresponding panel analyte:
| Ingredient | Maps To (MRT Panel) | Match Type |
|---|---|---|
| organic corn flour | Corn | Direct Match |
| organic cane sugar | Cane Sugar | Direct Match |
| organic whole grain corn flour | Corn | Direct Match |
| organic dry roasted peanuts | Peanut | Direct Match |
| organic whole grain oat flour | Oat | Direct Match |
| organic cocoa powder | Cocoa | Direct Match |
| organic rice flour | Rice | Direct Match |
| organic oat hull fiber | Oat | Direct Match |
| organic expeller pressed sunflower seed oil | Sunflower | Direct Match |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel and may contain hidden triggers: organic natural flavor. Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety. Common examples include ‘natural flavors’ (which can contain any of the 176 tested substances) and ‘spices’ (which may include tested spices like cinnamon, cumin, or black pepper).
LEAP Protocol Guidance
With 7 MRT-tested substances identified, this product is not recommended during Phase 1 or Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol. Phase 3 (Maintenance) patients should consult their Certified LEAP Therapist for personalized evaluation based on their individual MRT results.

Assessment Methodology
This assessment was generated using Wellbloom’s automated clinical analysis pipeline. Each ingredient in the product was cross-referenced against the complete MRT 176 panel — including 149 food antigens and 27 chemical additives. Ingredient-to-panel mapping uses direct matching, derivative identification (e.g., ‘whey’ maps to Cow’s Milk), and chemical compound recognition. Hidden trigger sources such as ‘natural flavors’ and ‘spices’ are flagged as unknown variables requiring individual verification.
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.
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.
Peanut is a legume (not a tree nut) tested on the MRT panel. Peanut oil, peanut butter, and peanut flour are all included. Distinct from IgE peanut allergy testing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
