by CONAGRA FOODS, INC.MRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
Conagra Foods, 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 four MRT-tested substances: Corn (from popping corn), FD&C Yellow #5 (tartrazine), and both Lecithin (Soy) and Soybean derived from soy lecithin. Additionally, the ingredient ‘natural and artificial flavour’ is flagged as an unknown because it may contain hidden sources of other reactive substances. Given the presence of more than three distinct triggers and unknown flavor components, this product is classified as High Risk and requires professional guidance for introduction in later phases.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 4
- Safe Ingredients: 3
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 1 (natural and artificial flavour)
- 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 |
|---|---|---|
| popping corn | Corn | Direct Match |
| tartrazine | FD&C Yellow #5 | Chemical Match |
| soy lecithin | Lecithin (Soy) | Direct Match |
| soy lecithin | Soybean | Direct Match |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel: natural and artificial flavour. Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety.
LEAP Protocol Guidance
With 4 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
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.
Tartrazine (Yellow #5) is an azo dye on the MRT chemical panel. Found in processed foods, beverages, and medications. Cross-reactivity with aspirin sensitivity has been documented in clinical literature.
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.
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.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 4 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 4 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.
