Just Ingredients

Bootstrapped family brand — transparent, but with lead findings.

Safety Finding · 2025

California Prop 65 lead finding across ~10 products (settled)

In September 2024 the Environmental Research Center filed a California Prop 65 notice alleging lead in about ten Just Ingredients products (protein powders and pre-workouts), corroborated by independent testing. The company settled for $70,000 in October 2025 and added Prop 65 warnings. The legal matter is resolved, but because the finding spanned much of the line and sits squarely on our heavy-metal axis, we flag it rather than badge it clean.

Our take

Why We Flagged It

As independent as it gets — bootstrapped and family-owned — and transparent about testing. But a 2024 Prop 65 lead notice (settled 2025) over ~10 products lands squarely on our safety axis, so we flag it rather than badge it clean.
