Clinical Product Assessment

Perdue Farms Incorporated 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 is evaluated as High Risk due to the presence of 8 distinct MRT-tested substances: Chicken, Wheat, Cane Sugar, Yeast (Baker’s), Garlic, Onion, Black Pepper (derived from white pepper), and Celery. Furthermore, the inclusion of ‘spices’ constitutes an unknown variable that may contain additional reactive substances. Given the high trigger count, this product is incompatible with the elimination and early reintroduction phases of the LEAP protocol.

Risk Summary

  • Risk Classification: High Risk
  • MRT Triggers Identified: 8
  • Safe Ingredients: 3
  • Unknown/Ambiguous: 1 (spices)
  • LEAP Phase Compatibility: Phase 3 — Practitioner Guided

Understanding These Triggers

🍗
Chicken

Chicken is tested independently from other poultry on the MRT panel. Cross-reactivity with turkey or eggs is not assumed — each is measured separately.

🌾
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.

🍬
Cane Sugar

Cane sugar sensitivity is specific to sugarcane-derived sweeteners and is distinct from glucose intolerance. Look for it in ingredient lists as sucrose, cane juice, or turbinado sugar.

🍞
Yeast (Baker's)

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.

🧄
Garlic

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."

🧅
Onion

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.

🫑
Black Pepper

Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is tested on the MRT panel. One of the most ubiquitous spices worldwide — found in virtually every seasoned or prepared food. Often hidden under "spices" on labels.

🥬
Celery

Celery is tested on the MRT panel and recognized as a major allergen in Europe. Found in soups, spice blends, and Bloody Mary mixes. Celery seed and celery salt also contain the reactive proteins.

What This Means For Your Diet

With 8 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 8 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.
