  1. A LEAP client is reactive to corn. Which of the following food label terms is MOST likely to indicate hidden corn content?

    Answer: Dextrose

    Dextrose is commonly derived from corn and must be avoided by clients with corn reactivity unless sourced from a non-corn origin.

  2. Which of the following is a common hidden source of gluten that a CLT should counsel clients to watch for on food labels?

    Answer: Modified food starch

    Modified food starch can be derived from wheat and therefore may contain gluten unless the label specifies a gluten-free grain source.

  3. A client reactive to cow's milk asks whether goat's milk cheese is safe. The CLT should explain that:

    Answer: Cross-reactivity between cow and goat caseins means goat's milk may also trigger reactions in some individuals

    Structural similarity between casein proteins in cow's and goat's milk can result in cross-reactivity, so goat's milk must be tested or avoided until MRT data supports inclusion.

  4. When reviewing a processed food label for a soy-reactive LEAP client, which ingredient would be LEAST likely to contain soy?

    Answer: Tapioca starch

    Tapioca starch is derived from cassava root and contains no soy, making it generally safe for soy-reactive individuals.

  5. A client reactive to eggs asks about mayonnaise. A CLT should advise that:

    Answer: Most commercial mayonnaise contains egg yolk and should be avoided

    Commercial mayonnaise is made with egg yolk as a primary emulsifier and must be avoided by anyone reactive to egg on MRT.

  6. A LEAP client reactive to yeast needs to avoid which of the following common condiments?

    Answer: Vinegar-based hot sauce

    Vinegar is produced by a fermentation process involving yeast and bacteria, meaning vinegar-based products are typically restricted for yeast-reactive clients.

  7. Which labeling law requires the top 9 major food allergens to be clearly disclosed on U.S. food packages?

    Answer: FASTER Act of 2021

    The FASTER Act of 2021 added sesame as the 9th major allergen and requires its disclosure alongside the previous Big 8 allergens on U.S. food labels.
