Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product contains 10 MRT-tested substances, making it incompatible with the early phases of the LEAP protocol. The ingredient list includes multiple vegetable oils (Sunflower, Corn, Canola), dairy (Cow’s Milk), cocoa components, and soy-derived additives. The presence of Coumarin/Vanillin further increases the chemical load. This product is classified as HIGH_RISK and should only be evaluated during the maintenance phase under professional supervision.

Understanding These Triggers
Potato is an MRT-tested substance that also appears as modified food starch, potato starch, and potato flour. One of the nightshade family foods tested on the panel.
Sunflower seed and sunflower oil are MRT-tested. Sunflower lecithin is increasingly used as a soy lecithin alternative. Found in chips, cooking oils, and many "allergen-friendly" products.
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.
Canola oil (derived from rapeseed) is an MRT-tested substance. It is one of the most common cooking oils in processed foods and restaurant cooking. Look for it in fried foods, dressings, and baked goods.
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.
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.
Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) is tested as a standalone substance. Reactivity to cocoa affects all chocolate-containing products. Distinct from dairy or sugar reactions that often co-occur in chocolate.
Soy-derived ingredients appear in a wide range of processed foods including soy lecithin, soybean oil, and textured soy protein. One of the most prevalent hidden triggers.
Soy lecithin is one of the most ubiquitous food additives, used as an emulsifier in chocolate, baked goods, and margarine. Even small amounts can trigger mediator release in sensitive patients.
A chemical compound found in cinnamon, vanilla, and many artificial flavorings. Tested on the MRT chemical additives panel. Often hidden under "natural flavors" or "artificial flavoring" on labels.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 10 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 10 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.
