How to read this report
What this is. We compare what a listing claims against what public records show — label arithmetic, barcode registries, NIH’s label catalog, FDA enforcement data, certification registries, and published research. Every statement below traces to one of those.
What the states mean. Confirmed = an outside source agrees. Contradicted = an outside source disagrees. Caution = something needs explaining. No data = we looked and found nothing — a gap, not a strike.
What it is not. A clean record is not an endorsement and never proof a product works. A thin record is not an accusation. We publish evidence and gaps; the conclusion is yours. Nothing here is medical advice.
Something wrong? Every figure is meant to be checkable — sources are named and linked. Send a correction and we’ll fix the record.
Every check we ran
Each ingredient’s amount is disclosed
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.
Pack math confirmed from the label
29 servings × 31 g = 899 g, matching the printed net weight 899 g (NET WT 31.7 OZ (1.98 LB) 899 G). Any different figure in the marketplace’s shipping-weight field describes packaging, not the product.
UPC independently corroborated
Open Food Facts resolves 748927054804 to "Gold standard whey" (Optimum Nutrition) — consistent with this listing.
No data yet: Review authenticity: not yet analyzed
Marketplace rating 4.7★ across 48,025 ratings. Authenticity not analysed: burst, purge and stockout patterns need price/review history.
No physical impossibility in the listed amounts
Technical check only: the panel’s 3 actives sum to 1,280 mg, which fits inside the ≈31,000 mg serving. This means the numbers are physically possible — it does not mean the formula was validated or the contents confirmed.
Not found in NIH's DSLD label registry
The NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database has no matching label yet. Ingestion lags the market — recorded as a gap, not a strike.
Past FDA recall on record for this brand (closed)
Brand-level history, not a finding about this product. Lyons Magnus, Inc recalled a product on 2022-07-22: “Findings and potential for Cronobacter sakazakii and Clostridium botulinum.” (status: Terminated, case closed). The recalled product was: “Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Chocolate 11 fl oz (325mL). UPC 7 48927-06409 4. Shake well. Best when served chilled. Manufactured for Optimum Nutrition, Inc., 350” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
Why is this shown?
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Benefit claim “…fast-absorbing, complete protein source that supports muscle maintenance and growth. 5.5 g Natural…” | Not assessed We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Ingredient-level evidence for this formula isn’t in our knowledge base yet. Recorded as not assessed — not as a negative. |
“No evidence located” does not mean a claim is false — it means the seller has not put evidence proportionate to the claim on the public record, and we could not find any. Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
Verifiability profile — 3 of 6 public signals
What this listing gives the public to check. Publishing these signals doesn't prove quality — but withholding them means claims can only be taken on faith.

Where it sells
| Seller | Price |
|---|---|
| Brand store (optimumnutrition.com) ↗ | $28.99 same product on the brand store — bottle count or subscription plan may differ from the retailer listing |
Brand store optimumnutrition.com: 55 supplement products (+2 merch items) — for comparison, single-focus brands typically carry 5–30 products; very broad catalogs are common among companies that rebrand ready-made formulas — a pattern note, not a verdict.
