That's why you have to do research and not just trust the labels. Labdoor (a third party testing site) has lots of proteins tested, lead and other heavy metals are part of the testing.

Not exactly comprehensive and odd that they all scored A+

That really is strange. I just checked and the list is not the same as it was when I posted the link.🤔 Not sure what's going on with the site, but I have seen many products get poor marks on there. I remember when optimum nutrition protein failed because of heavy metals. They used to show the full reports for free, now you need a membership to the site to see the full reports.

19 products and most from the same few brands. None of the most popular brands are in here. Doesn't seem very useful.
