- Grams of protein per serving as printed on this tub's own panel (US_GS_PLANT_12SRV_Choc_NFP.png): "Protein 24g" in a "Serving size 40g (About 1 Scoop)" serving with "12 servings per container". The three plant sources are the ones the Plant Protein Blend names. Net weight is deliberately not recorded: 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 16.9 OZ (1.05 LB) 480 G" and "12 SERVINGS", which is what the package is named by. The store sells it under the option that sold the 1.06 lb bag until October 2026, with its own SKU and barcode.

Delivery terms and limits
Standard delivery in the US is free on orders over $75 and costs $5.99 below that, from the delivery chart on Optimum Nutrition's Delivery Information page, read October 2, 2026. The storefront's announcement bar has read "Free shipping on orders above $75" since at least September 7, 2026. Subscription orders also ship free at any size, but that is a different purchase from the one-time price shown here. Read again on October 17 and November 1, 2026, with the same chart row.

Price history
Latest recorded price: $28.49 at Optimum Nutrition (direct), checked . First checked on Nov 1.
We check each price about once a day, so this is the range we recorded, not necessarily every price there has been. It says what changed, not why, and nothing about where the price goes next.
Verification, Tier B: Independently tested
A third party with no commercial stake in the product has tested it and published the result: Informed Sport, Informed Choice, IFOS, BSCG, or an independent laboratory. What that testing covers varies by program and is not always what you would assume: Informed Sport and Informed Choice screen finished batches for substances banned in sport and review manufacturing procedures on paper, which is not the same as confirming the label’s dose or testing for heavy metals. The listings below say which program this is, so you can check what it actually covers.
- Current listing found: Informed Choice.
- Checked NSF Certified for Sport database on Oct 31, 2026: not listed.
- Checked USP Verified database on Sep 21, 2026: not listed.
NSF Certified for Sport: checked, not listed
Checked and absent. NSF's whole Certified for Sport directory was read on Oct 31, 2026, 2,602 listings, and holds two Optimum Nutrition rows, 1256427 "GOLD STANDARD 100% WHEY DOUBLE RICH CHOCOLATE" and 1484223 "Gold Standard 100% Whey Vanilla Ice Cream", both the Gold Standard 100% Whey line. There is no row for Gold Standard 100% Plant Protein in any flavor or size. The label on this tub prints no NSF mark. 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.

Optimum Nutrition is on LGC's own Informed Sport product list of October 2026, read on Oct 3, 2026, with nine lines printed under the brand, and none of them names this product. Its one line naming Gold Standard Plant, "Gold Standard Plant - Elite Series", names the Elite Series, which this tub's label does not, and the mark this label prints is Informed Choice's. Absence from a list is not a failed test: Informed Sport certifies the products a company submits, so this records only that this product is not in the program's published list on that date.

LGC's own Informed Choice product list of October 2026, read on Oct 3, 2026, prints "ON Gold Standard Plant Protein (USA)" among the 49 lines under Optimum Nutrition. That names this product, and this tub's side face prints the Informed Choice mark ("CHOICE", "REGULARLY TESTED FOR BANNED SUBSTANCES"). The list prints no package size, flavor, batch or date, and Informed Choice names no package on any listing, so the package-scope question that applies to NSF listings does not arise here; a listing from such a program says the product is in the program, not that any one package or batch was tested.

Same category and format and, where a category is compared by strength, the same labeled strength. Different recorded ingredient-form lists are kept separate. Ordered by container price before delivery; only fresh recorded prices are shown. Formulas, flavors and allergens may differ: check each label. These are browsing options, not recommended substitutes.
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.
