by Kraft Heinz Foods CompanyMRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product contains 5 MRT-tested substances. It is primarily composed of Cow’s Milk and Yogurt (via cultured nonfat milk), which are also the base components of Cottage Cheese, a direct match on the panel. Additionally, it contains the chemical additive Carrageenan and Carob Bean Gum, which maps to Carob. The combination of multiple food triggers and a chemical stabilizer makes this product high risk for patients in the early stages of the LEAP protocol.

Understanding These Triggers
One of the most commonly reactive substances on the MRT panel. Found in dairy products and many processed foods as whey, casein, or milk solids. Cross-reactive with goat and sheep milk in some patients.
Yogurt is tested independently from whole cow's milk on the MRT panel. The fermentation process alters some milk proteins, meaning you may react differently to yogurt vs. milk.
A seaweed-derived thickener tested on the MRT panel. Found in dairy alternatives, ice cream, deli meats, and protein shakes. Increasingly scrutinized for its inflammatory potential.
Carob is an MRT-tested legume often used as a chocolate substitute. Found in health foods, carob chips, and as locust bean gum (a common thickener) in ice cream and baked goods.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 5 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 5 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.
