Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product contains 9 MRT-tested substances and multiple unknown variables. Due to the high number of reactive triggers including chemical additives (MSG), legumes (Soybean), and aromatics (Garlic, Onion, Paprika), this product is contraindicated for the early phases of the LEAP protocol. The presence of ‘natural flavors’ and ‘spices’ introduces further unknown risks.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
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.
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.
Monosodium glutamate is tested on the MRT chemical additives panel. Found in savory snacks, soups, Asian cuisine, and often hidden as "hydrolyzed protein," "autolyzed yeast," or "natural flavors."
Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is MRT-tested. Found in bread, rolls, pizza dough, and fermented foods. Also present as yeast extract, a common flavor enhancer in savory products.
Paprika is a dried Capsicum spice tested on the MRT panel. Used heavily in seasoning blends, sausages, cheese coatings, and snack foods. Often listed generically as "spices" on ingredient labels.
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."
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.
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.
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.
