LEAP Phase Status: Phase 2 — Reintroduction

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 ingredients derived from Corn (dextrose, maltodextrin, and cultured dextrose), which is an MRT-tested substance. It also contains vinegar powder, which is an unknown source ingredient as vinegar can be derived from various tested foods such as corn, wheat, grapes, or apples. These factors make it unsuitable for Phase 1.

Understanding These Triggers

🌽
Corn

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 1 identified trigger, this product falls into the moderate risk category. It may be suitable for Phase 2 reintroduction under practitioner guidance, depending on your individual MRT results.

If the specific triggers identified in this product scored Green on your personal MRT panel, your CLT may approve it for controlled reintroduction. If they scored Yellow or Red, this product should be avoided until cleared.
