by Del Monte Foods Inc.MRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
Del Monte Foods 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 12 MRT-tested substances, including a variety of botanical foods (onion, celery, carrot, garlic, grape, apple), a protein (chicken), and chemical additives (Citric Acid and Soy Lecithin). The presence of ‘natural flavors’ and ‘spices’ introduces additional unknown variables that are prohibited during the early elimination phases. Due to the high number of triggers and complexity of ingredients, this product is only suitable for the maintenance phase under practitioner supervision.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 12
- Safe Ingredients: 1
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 2 (natural flavors, spices)
- 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 |
|---|---|---|
| chicken broth | Chicken | Direct Match |
| white wine | Grape | Derived Match |
| onion juice concentrate | Onion | Direct Match |
| celery juice concentrate | Celery | Direct Match |
| yeast extract | Yeast (Baker’s) | Direct Match |
| sugar | Cane Sugar | Direct Match |
| carrot puree | Carrot | Direct Match |

| apple cider vinegar | Apple | Derived Match |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel: natural flavors, spices. Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety.
LEAP Protocol Guidance
With 12 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
Chicken is tested independently from other poultry on the MRT panel. Cross-reactivity with turkey or eggs is not assumed — each is measured separately.
Grape is an MRT-tested fruit found in wine, juice, jelly, raisins, and grape seed extract. Also a source of tartaric acid used as a food additive.
Onion is tested as a standalone substance on the MRT panel. It appears in seasonings, soups, sauces, and most savory processed foods. Often hidden as "dehydrated onion" or "onion powder" in spice blends.
Celery is tested on the MRT panel and recognized as a major allergen in Europe. Found in soups, spice blends, and Bloody Mary mixes. Celery seed and celery salt also contain the reactive proteins.
Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is MRT-tested. Found in bread, rolls, pizza dough, and fermented foods. Also present as yeast extract, a common flavor enhancer in savory 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.
Carrot is an individually tested vegetable on the MRT panel. Found in soups, baby food, juice blends, and many vegetable-based processed foods. Related to celery in the Apiaceae family.
Garlic is an MRT-tested substance found in seasoning blends, sauces, and many processed foods. Often listed as "garlic powder," "dehydrated garlic," or hidden in "spices" or "natural flavors."
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.
Soy lecithin is one of the most ubiquitous food additives, used as an emulsifier in chocolate, baked goods, and margarine. Even small amounts can trigger mediator release in sensitive patients.
Soy-derived ingredients appear in a wide range of processed foods including soy lecithin, soybean oil, and textured soy protein. One of the most prevalent hidden triggers.
Apple is an MRT-tested fruit that appears in juice blends, baby food, applesauce, pectin-based products, and as a sweetener (apple juice concentrate) in many "natural" foods.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 12 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 12 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.
