MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment

Clinical Narrative

This product is classified as HIGH_RISK due to the presence of 9 MRT-tested substances. It contains Pork, Corn (derived from cultured dextrose), both types of Yeast, and multiple Citrus-related triggers including Citric Acid. The presence of ‘flavoring’ and ‘dried vinegar’ also necessitates caution as they may contain additional hidden triggers not specified on the label.

Understanding These Triggers

🥓
Pork

Pork is tested as an individual protein on the MRT panel. Includes all pork-derived products such as bacon, ham, sausage, gelatin (often pork-derived), and lard.

🌽
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.

🍞
Yeast (Baker's)

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.

🍋
Lemon

Lemon is tested as a standalone citrus substance on the MRT panel. It appears in beverages, dressings, marinades, and as a flavoring agent. Distinct from citric acid sensitivity.

🍊
Orange

Orange is an MRT-tested citrus fruit. Found in juice, marmalade, candied peel, and as natural orange flavoring. Cross-reactivity with other citrus fruits is not assumed on the MRT panel.

⚗️
Citric Acid

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 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.
