Hormel Foods Corporation — Fully Cooked Pork Chops

by Hormel Foods Corporation

MRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified

PorkCorn
LEAP Phase Status: Phase 2 — Reintroduction

Clinical Product Assessment

Hormel Foods Corporation 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 two MRT-tested triggers (Pork and Corn-derived sweeteners) and includes ‘flavoring,’ which is an unknown variable in the LEAP protocol. While the pork stock is a direct match, the dextrose and maltodextrin are clinical derivatives of Corn. The unknown nature of the flavoring and the specific source of the vinegar powder require practitioner clarification.

Risk Summary

  • Risk Classification: Requires Testing
  • MRT Triggers Identified: 2
  • Safe Ingredients: 5
  • Unknown/Ambiguous: 2 (flavoring, dried vinegar)
  • LEAP Phase Compatibility: Phase 2 — Reintroduction

Understanding These Triggers

🥓
Pork

Pork is tested as an individual protein on the MRT panel. Includes all pork-derived products such as bacon, ham, sausage, gelatin (often pork-derived), and lard.

🌽
Corn

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.

What This Means For Your Diet

With 2 identified triggers, this product falls into the moderate risk category. It may be suitable for Phase 2 reintroduction under practitioner guidance, depending on your individual MRT results.

If the specific triggers identified in this product scored Green on your personal MRT panel, your CLT may approve it for controlled reintroduction. If they scored Yellow or Red, this product should be avoided until cleared.
