Clinical Product Assessment

MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment

Clinical Narrative

The analysis identified 2 MRT-tested substances: sugar, which maps to Cane Sugar, and dextrose, a derivative typically sourced from Corn. The remaining ingredients, including water, salt, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite, are not currently listed on the MRT 176 panel. Because this product contains two specific food triggers and no unknown labels like ‘spices’ or ‘natural flavors’, it is categorized as Moderate Risk and is appropriate for consideration during Phase 2 of the dietary protocol.

Understanding These Triggers

🍬
Cane Sugar

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.

🌽
Corn

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.

What This Means For Your Diet

With 2 identified triggers, this product falls into the moderate risk category. It may be suitable for Phase 2 reintroduction under practitioner guidance, depending on your individual MRT results.

If the specific triggers identified in this product scored Green on your personal MRT panel, your CLT may approve it for controlled reintroduction. If they scored Yellow or Red, this product should be avoided until cleared.
