Pepper Jack Plant-based Cheese Slices
MRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
MRT Safety Assessment
This product contains 6 MRT-tested substances. It includes multiple sources of Potato (starch and protein) and Chili Pepper (jalapeo peppers), which necessitates flagging their constituent chemicals on the MRT panel, Solanine and Capsaicin, respectively. Coconut oil and Tapioca starch are also direct matches for tested substances. Furthermore, the inclusion of ‘natural flavors’ introduces unknown variables that may contain additional triggers. Due to the high trigger count, this product is categorized as High Risk and is unsuitable for Phase 1 or Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 6
- Safe Ingredients: 4
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 1 (natural flavors (vegan sources))
- 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 |
|---|---|---|
| coconut oil | Coconut | Direct Match |
| potato starch | Potato + Solanine | Contains Tested Substance |
| food starch – modified (tapioca and potato) | Tapioca + Potato + Solanine | Contains Tested Substance |
| potato protein | Potato + Solanine | Contains Tested Substance |
| jalapeo peppers | Chili Pepper + Capsaicin | Contains Tested Substance |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel: natural flavors (vegan sources). Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety.
LEAP Protocol Guidance
With 6 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
Coconut is tested as an individual substance on the MRT panel. Found as coconut oil, coconut milk, coconut cream, and coconut flour — all common substitutes in dairy-free and paleo diets.
Potato is an MRT-tested substance that also appears as modified food starch, potato starch, and potato flour. One of the nightshade family foods tested on the panel.
Tapioca (cassava-derived starch) is MRT-tested. Increasingly used as a gluten-free thickener, in boba tea, puddings, and as modified food starch. Common in allergen-free baking.
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.
