Kraft Heinz Foods Company — Shells & Cheddar Macaroni & Cheese Dinner, Certified Organic Cheddar
by Kraft Heinz Foods CompanyMRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
Kraft Heinz Foods Company 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 3 MRT-tested substances: Wheat, Cow’s Milk, and Corn. Wheat is present in the organic pasta (semolina). Cow’s Milk appears in multiple forms throughout the sauce mix, including skim milk, buttermilk, and cheddar cheese. Corn is present as organic cornstarch and is the primary source of organic maltodextrin. Due to the presence of three distinct triggers, this product is unsuitable for patients in Phase 1 or Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol. This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance.

| organic skim milk | Cow’s Milk | Direct Match |
| organic buttermilk | Cow’s Milk | Direct Match |
| organic cheddar cheese | Cow’s Milk | Direct Match |
| organic maltodextrin | Corn | Derived Match |

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
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.
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.
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.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 3 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 3 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.
