Clinical Product Assessment

MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment

Clinical Narrative

This product contains 6 MRT-tested substances, including a primary food (Cucumber) and three chemical additives (Polysorbate 80, FD&C Yellow #5, and Sodium Benzoate). Vinegar is flagged as a common hidden source of Corn, while ‘Natural Flavors’ in a dill-branded product likely contains Dill. The presence of multiple chemical triggers and potential hidden allergens makes this product unsuitable for Phase 1 or Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol.

Understanding These Triggers

🌽
Corn

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.

⚗️
Benzoic Acid

A preservative tested on the MRT chemical panel. Found as sodium benzoate in soft drinks, pickles, salad dressings, and condiments. Also occurs naturally in cranberries and cinnamon.

🟡
FD&C Yellow #5

Tartrazine (Yellow #5) is an azo dye on the MRT chemical panel. Found in processed foods, beverages, and medications. Cross-reactivity with aspirin sensitivity has been documented in clinical literature.

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.
