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 unique MRT-tested substances, including multiple vegetable foundations and various botanical seasonings. Tomato is present in several forms (diced, juice, puree, and paste), alongside carrot, onion, sweet potato, and garlic. Citric acid, basil, black pepper, and oregano are also flagged as tested substances. Due to the high number of potential triggers, this product is not suitable for Phase 1 (Elimination) or Phase 2 (Reintroduction) and should only be evaluated under practitioner guidance in Phase 3. This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance.

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

🍅
Tomato

Tomato is a nightshade tested on the MRT panel. It appears in ketchup, pasta sauce, pizza, and many prepared foods. Includes all tomato-derived ingredients like tomato paste and powder.

⚗️
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.

🥕
Carrot

Carrot is an individually tested vegetable on the MRT panel. Found in soups, baby food, juice blends, and many vegetable-based processed foods. Related to celery in the Apiaceae family.

🧅
Onion

Onion is tested as a standalone substance on the MRT panel. It appears in seasonings, soups, sauces, and most savory processed foods. Often hidden as "dehydrated onion" or "onion powder" in spice blends.

🧄
Garlic

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."

🫑
Black Pepper

Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is tested on the MRT panel. One of the most ubiquitous spices worldwide — found in virtually every seasoned or prepared food. Often hidden under "spices" on labels.

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.
