The study says they sourced their proteins from “Not Company LTDA”, which seems to be Chilean.

Oh, it's so much worse than that - NotCo (the sponsor of the study, not just the source of the protein) is using an LLM to create plant-based alternatives to animal-based foods, such as milk, burgers, and mayonnaise. And just because they're based in Chile, I wouldn't take that to mean that's where the plant protein is coming from, as they're just the "designers" of these foods, not the manufacturers.
