PepsiCo, Inc. (CytoSport) — VANILLA CREME 100 CALORIE NON DAIRY PROTEIN SHAKE, VANILLA CREME
by PepsiCo, Inc. (CytoSport)MRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product contains 9 MRT-tested substances, including multiple dairy-derived proteins (Cow’s Milk, Whey), seed oils (Canola, Sunflower), and chemical additives (Carrageenan, Coumarin/Vanillin). Despite the ‘Non-Dairy’ labeling common in these products to indicate they are lactose-free, they contain milk-derived proteins that are significant MRT triggers. The presence of multiple triggers and unknown flavoring components makes this product unsuitable for Phase 1 or Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol.

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.
Canola oil (derived from rapeseed) is an MRT-tested substance. It is one of the most common cooking oils in processed foods and restaurant cooking. Look for it in fried foods, dressings, and baked goods.
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.
A seaweed-derived thickener tested on the MRT panel. Found in dairy alternatives, ice cream, deli meats, and protein shakes. Increasingly scrutinized for its inflammatory potential.
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.
A chemical compound found in cinnamon, vanilla, and many artificial flavorings. Tested on the MRT chemical additives panel. Often hidden under "natural flavors" or "artificial flavoring" on labels.
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.
