Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product is a clinical concern for LEAP patients due to high concentrations of MRT-tested substances. It contains four specific food triggers (Raspberry, Cherry, Strawberry, Grape) along with several chemical and foundational triggers including Cane Sugar, Corn (as corn syrup), Citric Acid, and synthetic dyes (Red #40, Blue #1). The presence of ‘natural and artificial flavors’ also introduces unknown components that may contain further untested triggers. This product is excluded from Phase 1 and 2.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
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.
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.
A chemical additive tested on the MRT panel. Industrially produced from Aspergillus niger mold, not citrus fruit. Found in beverages, canned goods, candy, and as a preservative in thousands of products.
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.
Strawberry is an MRT-tested fruit found in yogurts, ice cream, jams, and flavored beverages. Also appears as "natural strawberry flavor" in many processed foods.
Grape is an MRT-tested fruit found in wine, juice, jelly, raisins, and grape seed extract. Also a source of tartaric acid used as a food additive.
Allura Red AC is the most widely used food dye and one of the most reactive chemical additives on the MRT panel. Found in candy, beverages, cereals, snack foods, and even some medications.
Brilliant Blue FCF is a synthetic food dye tested on the MRT chemical panel. Found in candy, beverages, ice cream, and some processed foods. Often combined with Yellow #5 to create green coloring.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 9 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 9 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.

About This Assessment
This safety assessment was generated by cross-referencing the USDA FoodData Central ingredient record for this product against the 176 substances tested on the Mediator Release Test (MRT) panel. Clinical notes are produced with AI assistance using the matched ingredient data and reviewed by Kerry Watson, NTP, RWP for accuracy against published LEAP ImmunoCalm® protocol guidelines. Risk classifications are based on the number and type of MRT-tested substances identified.
