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 is classified as HIGH_RISK due to the presence of 8 MRT-tested substances. It contains primary grains (Wheat, Rice), sweeteners (Cane Sugar), fruit (Apple), spices (Cinnamon), and seed/legume derivatives (Sunflower, Soybean, and Soy Lecithin). Furthermore, the inclusion of ‘natural apple flavor’ introduces unknown variables that require practitioner clearance. This profile is unsuitable for Phase 1 or Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 8
- Safe Ingredients: 9
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 1 (natural apple flavor)
- 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 |
|---|---|---|
| organic wheat flour | Wheat | Direct Match |
| organic cane sugar | Cane Sugar | Direct Match |
| organic apple | Apple | Direct Match |
| organic rice flour | Rice | Direct Match |
| sunflower lecithin | Sunflower | Direct Match |
| organic cinnamon | Cinnamon | Direct Match |
| organic soy lecithin | Lecithin (Soy) | Direct Match |
| organic soy lecithin | Soybean | Direct Match |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel: natural apple flavor. 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
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.
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.
Cinnamon is tested on the MRT panel. Found in baked goods, cereals, spice blends, and flavored beverages. Contains coumarin, which is also separately tested on the chemical panel.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
