Clinical Product Assessment
Pepsico manufactures this product, which has been analyzed against the full MRT 176 panel — comprising 149 foods and 27 chemical additives — to identify potential immune-mediated sensitivities.
MRT Safety Assessment
The evaluation identified two MRT-tested chemical substances: Benzoic Acid (present as potassium benzoate) and Citric Acid. The product also contains ‘natural flavor’, which is an undefined ingredient that may harbor additional tested substances not explicitly listed. Due to the combination of known chemical triggers and unknown components, this product is not suitable for Phase 1 and should only be considered during Phase 2 reintroduction.
