MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment

Clinical Narrative

This product is a high-risk item containing 8 distinct MRT-tested triggers. It combines multiple botanical foods (Tomato, Corn, Onion, Garlic, Cane Sugar) with chemical additives (Fructose, Benzoic Acid). Furthermore, the presence of ‘spices’ and ‘natural smoke flavor’ introduces unknown variables that could contain additional hidden triggers such as Paprika or Mustard. This product is not suitable for Phase 1 or Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol.

Understanding These Triggers

🥓
Pork

Pork is tested as an individual protein on the MRT panel. Includes all pork-derived products such as bacon, ham, sausage, gelatin (often pork-derived), and lard.

🍅
Tomato

Tomato is a nightshade tested on the MRT panel. It appears in ketchup, pasta sauce, pizza, and many prepared foods. Includes all tomato-derived ingredients like tomato paste and powder.

🍬
Fructose

Fructose is tested independently from cane sugar on the MRT panel. Found as high-fructose corn syrup, agave nectar, and crystalline fructose. MRT tests inflammatory mediator response, not malabsorption.

🌽
Corn

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.

🍬
Cane Sugar

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.

🧅
Onion

Onion is tested as a standalone substance on the MRT panel. It appears in seasonings, soups, sauces, and most savory processed foods. Often hidden as "dehydrated onion" or "onion powder" in spice blends.

🧄
Garlic

Garlic is an MRT-tested substance found in seasoning blends, sauces, and many processed foods. Often listed as "garlic powder," "dehydrated garlic," or hidden in "spices" or "natural flavors."

⚗️
Benzoic Acid

A preservative tested on the MRT chemical panel. Found as sodium benzoate in soft drinks, pickles, salad dressings, and condiments. Also occurs naturally in cranberries and cinnamon.

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.
