Associated Wholesale Grocers, Inc. — Organic Salsa, Roasted Garlic
by Associated Wholesale Grocers, Inc.MRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
Associated Wholesale Grocers, 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 6 MRT-tested substances: Tomato, Citric Acid, Onion, Garlic, Chili Pepper (as jalapenos), and Coriander/Cilantro. It also contains ‘organic spices’ which are of unknown composition and ‘organic distilled vinegar’ which is typically derived from corn or grains. Due to the high number of reactive triggers, this product is unsuitable for Phase 1 or Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol and requires guidance from a practitioner. This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 6
- Safe Ingredients: 2
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 2 (organic spices, organic distilled vinegar)
- LEAP Phase Compatibility: Phase 3 — Practitioner Guided
Flagged Ingredient Mapping
The following ingredients were identified as matching substances on the MRT 176 panel. Each ingredient is mapped to its corresponding panel analyte:
| Ingredient | Maps To (MRT Panel) | Match Type |
|---|---|---|
| organic diced tomatoes | Tomato | Direct Match |
| organic tomato juice | Tomato | Direct Match |
| organic tomato puree | Tomato | Direct Match |
| organic tomato paste | Tomato | Direct Match |
| citric acid | Citric Acid | Chemical Match |
| organic onions | Onion | Direct Match |
| organic garlic | Garlic | Direct Match |
| organic jalapenos | Chili Pepper | Direct Match |
| organic roasted garlic | Garlic | Direct Match |
| organic dried onion | Onion | Direct Match |
| organic cilantro | Coriander/Cilantro | Direct Match |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel and may contain hidden triggers: organic spices, organic distilled vinegar. Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety. Common examples include ‘natural flavors’ (which can contain any of the 176 tested substances) and ‘spices’ (which may include tested spices like cinnamon, cumin, or black pepper).
LEAP Protocol Guidance
With 6 MRT-tested substances identified, this product is not recommended during Phase 1 or Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol. Phase 3 (Maintenance) patients should consult their Certified LEAP Therapist for personalized evaluation based on their individual MRT results.

Assessment Methodology
This assessment was generated using Wellbloom’s automated clinical analysis pipeline. Each ingredient in the product was cross-referenced against the complete MRT 176 panel — including 149 food antigens and 27 chemical additives. Ingredient-to-panel mapping uses direct matching, derivative identification (e.g., ‘whey’ maps to Cow’s Milk), and chemical compound recognition. Hidden trigger sources such as ‘natural flavors’ and ‘spices’ are flagged as unknown variables requiring individual verification.
This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
Tomato is a nightshade tested on the MRT panel. It appears in ketchup, pasta sauce, pizza, and many prepared foods. Includes all tomato-derived ingredients like tomato paste and powder.
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.
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.
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."
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 6 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 6 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.
