Sara Lee Foods — Smoked Ham, Smoked Turkey Breast Sandwich Starter, Smoked Ham, Smoked Turkey Breast
by Sara Lee FoodsMRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
Sara Lee Foods 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 classified as high risk due to the presence of 5 MRT-tested substances, including one chemical additive (carrageenan) and four food triggers (turkey, corn, celery, and pork). The inclusion of ‘natural flavorings’ also introduces unknown clinical variables, as these may contain additional tested substances not explicitly disclosed on the label. Given the high trigger count, this product is inappropriate for Phase 1 or 2 of the LEAP protocol.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 5
- Safe Ingredients: 5
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 1 (natural flavorings)
- 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 |
|---|---|---|
| turkey breast | Turkey | Direct Match |
| turkey broth | Turkey | Direct Match |
| modified corn starch | Corn | Direct Match |
| celery juice powder | Celery | Direct Match |
| carrageenan | Carrageenan | Chemical Match |
| ham | Pork | Direct Match |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel: natural flavorings. Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety.
LEAP Protocol Guidance
With 5 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
Turkey is tested as an individual poultry protein on the MRT panel. It includes all turkey-derived ingredients such as turkey broth, turkey stock, and deli turkey.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 5 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 5 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.
