Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product contains 7 MRT-tested substances, including primary proteins (Pork, Beef) and multiple botanical triggers (Garlic, Celery, Cherry). The inclusion of dextrose acts as a hidden source of Corn. Furthermore, the ingredient ‘spices’ is an unknown variable that may contain additional tested substances such as Black Pepper, Chili Pepper, or Mustard. With 7 confirmed triggers, this product is high risk and unsuitable for the elimination or early reintroduction phases.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
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.
Beef protein is a standalone MRT-tested substance. Includes all beef-derived ingredients like gelatin (sometimes), broth, and tallow. Not cross-reactive with dairy by default.
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.
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."
Celery is tested on the MRT panel and recognized as a major allergen in Europe. Found in soups, spice blends, and Bloody Mary mixes. Celery seed and celery salt also contain the reactive proteins.
Cherry is an MRT-tested fruit found in juices, preserves, baked goods, and cherry flavoring. Maraschino cherries contain additional chemical additives that may also be reactive.
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.
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.
