Hormel Foods Corporation — Mesquite Barbecue Pork Loin Filet, Mesquite Barbecue
by Hormel Foods CorporationMRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
Hormel Foods Corporation 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 9 MRT-tested substances, including multiple direct food matches like Pork, Chili Pepper, Onion, Garlic, and Soybean oil. Additionally, it contains chemical triggers found in nightshades (Capsaicin and Solanine) and derivatives such as Corn (from maltodextrin and cultured dextrose) and Yeast. The presence of ‘spices’, ‘natural flavors’, and ‘flavoring’ introduces several unknown variables that could contain additional reactive substances.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 9
- Safe Ingredients: 3
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 4 (spices, natural smoke flavor, natural flavor, flavoring)
- 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 |
|---|---|---|
| pork broth | Pork | Direct Match |
| chili pepper | Chili Pepper | Direct Match |
| chili pepper | Capsaicin | Chemical Match |
| chili pepper | Solanine | Chemical Match |
| onion powder | Onion | Direct Match |
| garlic powder | Garlic | Direct Match |
| maltodextrin | Corn | Derivative Match |
| soybean oil | Soybean | Direct Match |
| yeast extract | Yeast (Baker’s) | Direct Match |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel: spices, natural smoke flavor, natural flavor, flavoring. Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety.
LEAP Protocol Guidance
With 9 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
Pork is tested as an individual protein on the MRT panel. Includes all pork-derived products such as bacon, ham, sausage, gelatin (often pork-derived), and lard.
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.
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."
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.
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.
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.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 9 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 9 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.
