MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product is a multi-component snack pack containing 8 distinct MRT-tested substances. The cheese component contains Cow’s Milk; the dried fruit contains Cherry, Cane Sugar, and Sunflower oil; and the chocolate chunks contain Cocoa, Cane Sugar, Vanilla, and Soy-derived ingredients (Lecithin and Soybean). Due to the high density of reactive substances, this product is contraindicated for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol.

Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
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.
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.
Sunflower seed and sunflower oil are MRT-tested. Sunflower lecithin is increasingly used as a soy lecithin alternative. Found in chips, cooking oils, and many "allergen-friendly" products.
Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) is tested as a standalone substance. Reactivity to cocoa affects all chocolate-containing products. Distinct from dairy or sugar reactions that often co-occur in chocolate.
Soy lecithin is one of the most ubiquitous food additives, used as an emulsifier in chocolate, baked goods, and margarine. Even small amounts can trigger mediator release in sensitive patients.
Soy-derived ingredients appear in a wide range of processed foods including soy lecithin, soybean oil, and textured soy protein. One of the most prevalent hidden triggers.
Vanilla extract and vanillin (synthetic vanilla) are both MRT-tested. Vanilla appears in baked goods, desserts, and flavored beverages. Check for "natural flavors" which may contain vanilla.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 8 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 8 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.
