Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product is a pasteurized prepared cheese, which maps directly to the American Cheese category on the MRT 176 panel. The ingredient analysis identifies three additional tested substances: Cow’s Milk (found in the cheese base, protein concentrate, and milkfat), Whey, and Paprika (derived from oleoresin paprika). Because the product contains four distinct MRT-tested triggers, it is classified as high risk and requires practitioner guidance for inclusion in later LEAP phases.

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.
Whey is a dairy-derived protein tested separately from whole cow's milk on the MRT panel. Found in protein powders, baked goods, processed cheese, and many sports nutrition products.
Paprika is a dried Capsicum spice tested on the MRT panel. Used heavily in seasoning blends, sausages, cheese coatings, and snack foods. Often listed generically as "spices" on ingredient labels.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 4 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 4 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.
