Clinical Product Assessment

J & B Wholesale Distributing 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 animal protein, multiple grains (Corn, Wheat), legumes (Soybean), and several chemical additives (Polysorbate 80, Sodium Metabisulfite). It also contains ‘natural flavor’ and ‘caramel color’ of unspecified origin, further increasing the risk of reaction. Due to the high number of triggers, this product is excluded from the early phases of the LEAP protocol.

Risk Summary

  • Risk Classification: High Risk
  • MRT Triggers Identified: 7
  • Safe Ingredients: 5
  • Unknown/Ambiguous: 4 (natural flavor, artificial beef flavor, grill flavor, caramel color)
  • LEAP Phase Compatibility: Phase 3 — Practitioner Guided

Flagged Ingredient Mapping

The following ingredients were identified as matching substances on the MRT 176 panel:

Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients

The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel: natural flavor, artificial beef flavor, grill flavor, caramel color. Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety.

LEAP Protocol Guidance

With 7 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.

Understanding These Triggers

🥩
Beef

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.

🟡
Mustard

Mustard is tested on the MRT panel and recognized as a major allergen in the EU. Found in condiments, dressings, marinades, and often hidden in spice blends and processed meats.

🫘
Soybean

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.

🌾
Wheat

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.

🌽
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 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.
