Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product assessment is based on the standard formulation for Whole Foods Market Cream Cheese with Chive & Onion. It contains three MRT-tested substances: Cow’s Milk (the primary base), Carob (derived from carob bean gum stabilizer), and Onion. The presence of three distinct triggers qualifies this product as High Risk and necessitates practitioner guidance for those in the maintenance phase 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.
Carob is an MRT-tested legume often used as a chocolate substitute. Found in health foods, carob chips, and as locust bean gum (a common thickener) in ice cream and baked goods.
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.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 3 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 3 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.
