Whole Foods Market, Inc. — Kosher Dill Spears
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 9 MRT-tested substances, representing a high concentration of potential reactive triggers. While cucumbers are the base, the botanical spices (garlic, coriander, mustard, dill, chili pepper, bay leaf, cinnamon, and turmeric) are all individually tested on the MRT 176 panel. Furthermore, the inclusion of ‘natural flavors’ introduces unknown variables that cannot be verified. This product is contraindicated for the elimination and reintroduction phases and requires guidance from a Certified LEAP Therapist.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 9
- Safe Ingredients: 5
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 2 (natural flavors, spices)

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
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."
Mustard is tested on the MRT panel and recognized as a major allergen in the EU. Found in condiments, dressings, marinades, and often hidden in spice blends and processed meats.
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.
Cinnamon is tested on the MRT panel. Found in baked goods, cereals, spice blends, and flavored beverages. Contains coumarin, which is also separately tested on the chemical panel.
Turmeric is an MRT-tested spice increasingly popular in health products. Found in curry blends, mustard, golden milk, and as a natural food coloring. Contains curcumin.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 9 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 9 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.
