The Best & Worst Protein Powder Products
Clean Label Project is committed to changing the definition of food and consumer safety through data, science, and transparency. We have recently tested the protein powder industry to see how clean protein powder is.
When it comes to protein powders, consumers are looking for clean protein to complement their already healthy lifestyle choices. We tested 134 of the top-selling protein powders for how clean they were. Clean Label Project has seen elevated levels of heavy metals including Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury as well as BPA leaching from packaging into the finished product.
