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 unique MRT-tested substances, including Pecan, Cane Sugar, Garlic, Paprika, Chili Pepper, Corn (derived from maltodextrin and cornstarch), and Capsaicin (found in capsicum extract). The presence of distilled white vinegar also poses a risk as a potential hidden source of corn or grain. With a high trigger count and multiple chemical and food sensitivities involved, this product is unsuitable for the elimination or early reintroduction phases of the LEAP protocol.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 7
- Safe Ingredients: 2
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 1 (organic distilled white vinegar)
- LEAP Phase Compatibility: Phase 3 — Practitioner Guided

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
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.
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.
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."
Paprika is a dried Capsicum spice tested on the MRT panel. Used heavily in seasoning blends, sausages, cheese coatings, and snack foods. Often listed generically as "spices" on ingredient labels.
Chili pepper (Capsicum) is tested on the MRT panel. It appears in hot sauces, spice blends, seasoned meats, and many Mexican, Asian, and Indian-cuisine-inspired processed foods.
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.
