Tyson Foods, Inc. — Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Strips
by Tyson Foods, Inc.MRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
Tyson Foods, 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 8 MRT-tested substances, including meat proteins (Chicken), multiple grains (Wheat, Rice, Corn), and stabilizers/flavorants (Canola, Paprika, Yeast, Cane Sugar). The product also contains ‘natural flavors’ and generic ‘vegetable oil’, which are unknown variables that may contain additional triggers such as Soybean or Sunflower. This complexity makes the product unsuitable for the elimination or early reintroduction phases of the LEAP protocol.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 8
- Safe Ingredients: 4
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 2 (natural flavors, vegetable oil)
- 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 |
|---|---|---|
| chicken breast with rib meat | Chicken | Direct Match |
| flour (wheat) | Wheat | Direct Match |
| flour (rice) | Rice | Direct Match |
| canola oil | Canola/Rapeseed | Direct Match |
| extractives of paprika | Paprika | Direct Match |
| starch (corn) | Corn | Direct Match |
| sugar | Cane Sugar | Direct Match |
| yeast and yeast extract | Yeast (Baker’s) | Direct Match |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel: natural flavors, vegetable oil. Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety.
LEAP Protocol Guidance
With 8 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
Chicken is tested independently from other poultry on the MRT panel. Cross-reactivity with turkey or eggs is not assumed — each is measured separately.
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.
Rice is often used as a "safe" base in elimination diets, but some patients do react to it. Verify with your MRT results before assuming rice is safe for your Phase 1 rotation.
Canola oil (derived from rapeseed) is an MRT-tested substance. It is one of the most common cooking oils in processed foods and restaurant cooking. Look for it in fried foods, dressings, and baked goods.
Paprika is a dried Capsicum spice tested on the MRT panel. Used heavily in seasoning blends, sausages, cheese coatings, and snack foods. Often listed generically as "spices" on ingredient labels.
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.
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.
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.
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.
