Heinz USA — Gravy
by Heinz USAMRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
Heinz USA 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 is highly reactive for LEAP patients, containing 8 distinct MRT-tested substances. It includes major allergens and chemicals such as Wheat, Cow’s Milk, Corn, and MSG. Additionally, the presence of ‘spice’ and ‘natural flavor’ introduces unknown variables that could contain further triggers. Given the high trigger count, this product is unsuitable for the elimination and reintroduction phases and requires practitioner guidance for the maintenance phase.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 8
- Safe Ingredients: 2
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 3 (spice, natural flavor, 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 |
|---|---|---|
| mushrooms | Mushroom | Direct Match |
| modified corn starch | Corn | Direct Match |
| bleached wheat flour | Wheat | Direct Match |
| rendered beef fat | Beef | Direct Match |
| monosodium glutamate | MSG | Chemical Match |
| yeast extract | Yeast (Baker’s) | Direct Match |
| natural flavor (milk) | Cow’s Milk | Direct Match |
| onion powder | Onion | Direct Match |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel: spice, natural flavor, caramel color. Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety.
LEAP Protocol Guidance
With 8 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
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.
A major grain trigger distinct from celiac disease. MRT measures inflammatory mediator release to wheat protein, not IgE-mediated gluten allergy. Found in bread, pasta, and many processed foods.
Beef protein is a standalone MRT-tested substance. Includes all beef-derived ingredients like gelatin (sometimes), broth, and tallow. Not cross-reactive with dairy by default.
Monosodium glutamate is tested on the MRT chemical additives panel. Found in savory snacks, soups, Asian cuisine, and often hidden as "hydrolyzed protein," "autolyzed yeast," or "natural flavors."
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.
One of the most commonly reactive substances on the MRT panel. Found in dairy products and many processed foods as whey, casein, or milk solids. Cross-reactive with goat and sheep milk in some patients.
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.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 8 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 8 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.
