Clinical Product Assessment

Kraft Heinz Foods Company 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 unique MRT-tested substances. It includes food triggers such as Corn (present in cornstarch and modified cornstarch) and Cocoa. Additionally, multiple chemical triggers are present: Carrageenan, Aspartame, and three artificial colorants (Red #40, Yellow #5, and Blue #2). The presence of ‘natural and artificial flavor’ also introduces unknown variables. This product is contraindicated for Phase 1 (Elimination) and Phase 2 (Reintroduction) of the LEAP protocol. This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance.

Risk Summary

  • Risk Classification: High Risk
  • MRT Triggers Identified: 7
  • Safe Ingredients: 4
  • Unknown/Ambiguous: 1 (natural and artificial flavor)
  • 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
cornstarch Corn Direct Match
cocoa Cocoa Direct Match
modified cornstarch Corn Direct Match
carrageenan Carrageenan Chemical Match
aspartame Aspartame Chemical Match
red 40 FD&C Red #40 Chemical Match
yellow 5 FD&C Yellow #5 Chemical Match
blue 2 Blue #2 Chemical Match

Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients

The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel and may contain hidden triggers: natural and artificial flavor. 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

🌽
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.

🍫
Cocoa

Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) is tested as a standalone substance. Reactivity to cocoa affects all chocolate-containing products. Distinct from dairy or sugar reactions that often co-occur in chocolate.

⚗️
Carrageenan

A seaweed-derived thickener tested on the MRT panel. Found in dairy alternatives, ice cream, deli meats, and protein shakes. Increasingly scrutinized for its inflammatory potential.

⚗️
Aspartame

An artificial sweetener tested on the MRT chemical panel. Found in diet sodas, sugar-free gum, and "light" yogurts. Some patients show significant mediator release to aspartame.

🔴
FD&C Red #40

Allura Red AC is the most widely used food dye and one of the most reactive chemical additives on the MRT panel. Found in candy, beverages, cereals, snack foods, and even some medications.

🟡
FD&C Yellow #5

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.

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.
