What is really in pea protein supplements?

There is a serious lack of transparency in the food and supplement industries globally on the issue of pesticide residues in their products. However, that is about to change!

The Detox Project, working in coordination with partners, is testing a range of best-selling products to uncover the truth about the levels of pesticides in our food and supplements. The first award-winning report we produced reached over 10 million people – Glyphosate: Unsafe On Any Plate.

This information has and will be made available to the public in an easily digestible and non-scaremongering format to enable everyone to make up their own minds as to which products they want to buy.

The first category we have targeted is protein powders, which were tested at a third-party laboratory in California, using gold standard mass spectrometry methods.

The Detox Project has been promoting the gold standard testing of human and food samples from around the world for the last 5 years and we are now using this expertise to increase transparency for consumers everywhere. We have also proven how we can help brands clean up their supply chain!

The Detox Project tested products for the world’s most used herbicide, glyphosate, and 400+ other pesticides, from some of the top selling Protein Powder Brands on Amazon. The results can be seen below and the laboratory reports can be viewed on request:
