Ordered by price, lowest first, and labeled so you can see what each link earns us. Commission is never an input to that ordering. If the cheapest retailer pays us nothing, that is still the one we send you to. No link on this page earns us anything; every Buy button is a plain retailer link.
Verification, Tier D: Could not locate independent data
We could not locate independent testing or certification for this product. That is a statement about our search, not about the product. These programs certify what a company submits to them, so a product can be absent simply because it was never entered, which is not a finding against it. Which certifier databases we searched, and when, is listed below. Where a program is not listed there, we have not checked it and do not imply anything either way.
Searched 4 certifier databases and found no listing for this product, and located no published test results. Programs we did not search are named below as not checked.
The testing claim we recorded for this product, with where it appeared: Third Party Tested (printed on the tub's side face). With no program named there is no listing to open against it, so it does not raise the verification level.
Checked NSF Certified for Sport database on Sep 20, 2026: not listed.
Checked USP Verified database on Sep 21, 2026: not listed.
NSF Certified for Sport: checked, not listed
Checked and absent. The full Certified for Sport directory read on Sep 20, 2026 carries no Nutricost row in any category. The label on this tub prints "THIRD PARTY TESTED", which names no program and no laboratory and is recorded as the maker's claim on the product, not as a listing here. Absence from a database is not a failed test.
Checked and absent. USP's own Verified Products directory was read page by page in a browser on Sep 21, 2026: 16 pages, 159 products, 16 brands, captured in this site's directory snapshot. This brand does not appear in the directory or in its brand facet, and no product in it names this brand. USP verifies the products a company submits to it, so this records which products were submitted and nothing else. Absence from a database is not a failed test.
Nutricost does not appear as a brand in LGC's own Informed Sport product list of 496 brands and 1878 product lines, headed "September-2026", read in full on Sep 24, 2026. Absence from a list is not a failed test: Informed Sport certifies the products a company submits, so this records only that none from this brand is in the program's published list on that date.
Nutricost does not appear as a brand in LGC's own Informed Choice product list of 200 brands and 851 product lines, headed "September-2026", read in full on Sep 24, 2026. Absence from a list is not a failed test: Informed Choice certifies the products a company submits, so this records only that none from this brand is in the program's published list on that date.
Not established: Heavy-metal testing, Label-accuracy testing.
Absence of data is not evidence that a product is clean. It means nobody has published a result we could find.

Protein: 20g as labeled
Grams of protein per serving as printed on this size's own panel: "Protein 20g" in a "Serving size 1 Scoop (1/3 cup)(26g)" serving with "71 servings per container". Nothing is inherited from the 2 lb tub: this size publishes its own panel. Net weight is deliberately not recorded for these: the container is powder, the basis is the protein in it, and the two must not be divided into each other. The front face prints "NET WT. 64.8 OZ (4 LB) (1,814 G)".
What this rests on: prices we last recorded at the retailer named on each product page, which go stale, and each page says when it was checked; the products we track, not every product sold, and Amazon and Walmart are not among the stores; listings and labels read at the source, each linked from the page. Found an error? Tell us. The full method: How we compare.
