Our take
Why It’s on Our Radar
We don't recommend it as a clean pick. It's Nestlé-owned, and its organic plant protein tested well over Consumer Reports' lead level of concern. It's here as a cautionary reference, with founder-owned, tested alternatives above.
What's inside
Ingredients & Safety
Certified organic and plant-based, but Consumer Reports (Oct 2025) measured its Sport Organic Plant-Based (Vanilla) at ~564% of its lead level of concern — organic branding is not a heavy-metal guarantee.
