MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment

Clinical Narrative

This product contains 5 MRT-tested substances. It includes the specific food category Cottage Cheese and its base components (Cow’s Milk), alongside three chemical additives (Carrageenan, Citric Acid, and Polysorbate 80). Due to the high number of reactive substances and chemical additives, this product is unsuitable for the early elimination phases of the LEAP protocol.

Understanding These Triggers

🥛
Cow's Milk

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.

⚗️
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.

⚗️
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.

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.
