The Clean Label Project did not respond to Fortune's requests for more details about its methodology.
And because it does not offer many specifics in the report about its findings, some are urging caution.
Felicia Wu, Michigan State University distinguished professor of food science and human nutrition, notes that, while the heavy metal concentrations exceed California's Proposition 65 recommended limits, "this report did not reveal what the actual numbers are, and the Prop 65 recommendations are for amounts per day—so it is unclear how much CLP assumed people were consuming protein powder every day." She adds, "Without this more detailed information, we cannot say what the real risk to human health is."
Further, the Council for Responsible Nutrition—which, notably, is the leading trade association representing dietary supplement manufacturers—has taken issue with what it calls the Clean Label Project's lack of "critical context" and its risk of "misleading consumers rather than empowering them."
In a rebuttal on its website, Andrea Wong, senior vice president of scientific and regulatory affairs, notes, "Modern analytical techniques can detect even trace levels of naturally occurring elements, such as heavy metals, which are present in soil, air, and water. These trace levels are often well below established safety thresholds set by federal agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)."
Wong adds, "California Proposition 65, frequently referenced in CLP's findings, imposes limits that are uniquely stringent and not aligned with federal guidelines… and it requires labeling of products over that amount, not a ban on them."
Independent testing organizations, including both the Clean Label Project and Consumer Reports, have been raising concerns about heavy metals found in protein powders since at least 2010, according to a 2020 article in the journal Toxicology Report. But, that article urges, it's important not to instantly panic, noting that "health risks of heavy metals in protein powder supplements should be conducted within the context of relevant background exposures and established health based standards instead of the presence of hazardous substances alone."

I'd be interested to hear if others thought it tastes better.
