MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product contains 7 MRT-tested substances, including the base food (Pumpkin), sweeteners (Cane Sugar), corn-derived fillers (Maltodextrin), savory seasonings (Onion, Garlic, Yeast), and the chemical additive Citric Acid. The inclusion of ‘spices’ and ‘natural flavors’ further introduces multiple unknown variables, making this product unsuitable for the elimination or early reintroduction phases of the LEAP protocol.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
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 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.
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.
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."
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.
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 7 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 7 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.
