Kraft Heinz Foods Company — NONFAT COTTAGE CHEESE
by Kraft Heinz Foods CompanyMRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product contains six MRT-tested substances, including primary food categories (Cottage Cheese, Cow’s Milk, Whey) and multiple chemical additives (Citric Acid, Carrageenan, Polysorbate 80). Additionally, the presence of ‘natural flavor’ and ‘maltodextrin’ introduces unknown variables that could contain additional triggers such as corn. Due to the high number of reactive substances and chemical additives, this product is unsuitable for the early phases of the LEAP protocol.

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.
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.
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.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 6 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 6 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.
