MRT Safety Assessment

This product contains 2 MRT-tested substances: Cane Sugar and Potato. Both ‘sugar’ and ‘brown sugar’ map to the tested item Cane Sugar, while ‘modified potato starch’ maps to Potato. As there are two distinct triggers present and no unknown ingredients (such as natural flavors or spices), this product is appropriate for Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol, provided these items were non-reactive on the patient’s individual test results.

Understanding These Triggers

🍬
Cane Sugar

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.

🥔
Potato

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.

What This Means For Your Diet

With 2 identified triggers, 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.
