Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
Clinical analysis identifies 6 MRT-tested substances in this product. Turkey, Celery, Cherry, and Lemon are direct panel matches. Vinegar and cultured dextrose are identified as corn-derived (Corn), and sugar is mapped to Cane Sugar. The presence of ‘Mesquite Smoke Flavor’ introduces an unknown component that may harbor additional triggers. This product is categorized as high risk due to the density of reactive substances and is unsuitable for Phase 1 or 2 of the LEAP protocol.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
Turkey is tested as an individual poultry protein on the MRT panel. It includes all turkey-derived ingredients such as turkey broth, turkey stock, and deli turkey.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 6 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 6 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.
