Clinical Product Assessment

Whole Foods Market, 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 5 MRT-tested substances. Almond is the primary base, and carrageenan is used as a stabilizer. Potassium citrate maps to Citric Acid, and sunflower lecithin maps to Sunflower. Vanilla is present in the natural flavoring. Additionally, ‘natural flavors’ represent unknown variables that may contain other tested substances. This product is categorized as HIGH_RISK and is not suitable for Phase 1 or Phase 2. This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance.

Risk Summary

  • Risk Classification: High Risk
  • MRT Triggers Identified: 5
  • Safe Ingredients: 5
  • Unknown/Ambiguous: 2 (natural vanilla flavor, other natural flavors)
  • 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
almonds Almond Direct Match
natural vanilla flavor Vanilla Direct Match
potassium citrate Citric Acid Chemical Match
carrageenan Carrageenan Direct Match
sunflower lecithin Sunflower Direct Match

Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients

The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel and may contain hidden triggers: natural vanilla flavor, other natural flavors. 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 5 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

🌰
Almond

Tree nut tested individually on the MRT panel. Almond flour and almond milk are common substitutes in elimination diets — verify your personal MRT results before using.

🌸
Vanilla

Vanilla extract and vanillin (synthetic vanilla) are both MRT-tested. Vanilla appears in baked goods, desserts, and flavored beverages. Check for "natural flavors" which may contain vanilla.

⚗️
Citric Acid

A chemical additive tested on the MRT panel. Industrially produced from Aspergillus niger mold, not citrus fruit. Found in beverages, canned goods, candy, and as a preservative in thousands of products.

⚗️
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.

🌻
Sunflower

Sunflower seed and sunflower oil are MRT-tested. Sunflower lecithin is increasingly used as a soy lecithin alternative. Found in chips, cooking oils, and many "allergen-friendly" products.

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.
