Understanding These Triggers

🍗
Chicken

Chicken is tested independently from other poultry on the MRT panel. Cross-reactivity with turkey or eggs is not assumed — each is measured separately.

What This Means For Your Diet

With 1 identified trigger, this product falls into the moderate risk category. It may be suitable for Phase 2 reintroduction under practitioner guidance, depending on your individual MRT results.

If the specific triggers identified in this product scored Green on your personal MRT panel, your CLT may approve it for controlled reintroduction. If they scored Yellow or Red, this product should be avoided until cleared.
