by Whole Foods Market, Inc.MRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
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 8 MRT-tested substances, including multiple dairy components (Cow’s Milk, Whey), Carob (from carob bean gum), and several botanical and chemical triggers (Cane Sugar, Garlic, Oregano, Chili Pepper, and Capsaicin). The high volume of reactive substances makes this product unsuitable for 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: 3 (cheese culture, enzymes, culture)
- LEAP Phase Compatibility: Phase 3 — Practitioner Guided

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
One of the most commonly reactive substances on the MRT panel. Found in dairy products and many processed foods as whey, casein, or milk solids. Cross-reactive with goat and sheep milk in some patients.
Whey is a dairy-derived protein tested separately from whole cow's milk on the MRT panel. Found in protein powders, baked goods, processed cheese, and many sports nutrition products.
Carob is an MRT-tested legume often used as a chocolate substitute. Found in health foods, carob chips, and as locust bean gum (a common thickener) in ice cream and baked goods.
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.
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."
Chili pepper (Capsicum) is tested on the MRT panel. It appears in hot sauces, spice blends, seasoned meats, and many Mexican, Asian, and Indian-cuisine-inspired processed foods.
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.
