Associated Wholesale Grocers, Inc. — Organic Beef Jerky Peppered
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 7 MRT-tested substances, including beef, cane sugar, black pepper, soybean, wheat, yeast, and citric acid. Additionally, the presence of multiple ‘natural flavors’ introduces unknown potential triggers. Due to the high number of reactive substances, this product is incompatible with Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol. Patients should only consider this during Phase 3 under the supervision of a Certified LEAP Therapist. This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 7
- Safe Ingredients: 2
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 2 (organic natural flavors, natural flavors)
- 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 beef | Beef | Direct Match |
| organic sugar | Cane Sugar | Direct Match |
| organic black pepper | Black Pepper | Direct Match |
| organic soybeans | Soybean | Direct Match |
| organic wheat | Wheat | Direct Match |
| yeast extract | Yeast (Baker’s) | Direct Match |
| citric acid | Citric Acid | Chemical Match |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel and may contain hidden triggers: organic natural flavors, natural flavors. 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 7 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
Beef protein is a standalone MRT-tested substance. Includes all beef-derived ingredients like gelatin (sometimes), broth, and tallow. Not cross-reactive with dairy by default.
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.
Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is tested on the MRT panel. One of the most ubiquitous spices worldwide — found in virtually every seasoned or prepared food. Often hidden under "spices" on labels.
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.
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.
Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is MRT-tested. Found in bread, rolls, pizza dough, and fermented foods. Also present as yeast extract, a common flavor enhancer in savory products.
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.
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.
