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.
What the label discloses
The listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 15 declared rows. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.

| Total Fat | 3 g | — | |
| Saturated Fat | 1.5 g | — | |

FDA rules (21 CFR 101.36) require the amount of each dietary ingredient per serving unless hidden in a declared “proprietary blend” (legal, but a transparency yellow flag). A label stating no amount at all is non-compliant — a checkable red flag. This panel states amounts; the open question is whether those declared amounts are independently verified and how they compare with relevant research.
vision:google/gemini-flash-1.5 Amounts are shown as declared panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.
Every check we ran
Panel carries documented template or translation artifacts
The panel carries these quoted observations: “Calories has no unit”. US-market labels are produced under cGMP controls; these are template or translation artifacts worth checking, not proof that the label is fabricated or that the product is unsafe.
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.
Exact trademark owner identified
USPTO lists DYMATIZE ENTERPRISES, INC. (['CORPORATION', 'LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY']) in ['TEXAS, USA', 'DELAWARE, USA'] for the exact brand wordmark. This identifies the USPTO mark owner or applicant; it does not by itself prove who manufactures or sells this product.
No physical impossibility in the listed amounts
Technical check only: the panel’s 6 actives sum to 1,770 mg, which fits inside the ≈34,000 mg serving. This means the numbers are physically possible — it does not mean the formula was validated or the contents confirmed.
Research context is available for the listed ingredients
Published sources describe how prebiotic fiber have been studied. This is ingredient context only; the record does not establish that this product delivers the studied dose or outcome. Sources: NIH ODS — Fiber overview (MVMS context), PubMed search: inulin prebiotic randomized trial.
Photo-read pack math is internally consistent
67 servings × 34 g = 2278 g, matching the printed net weight 2300 g (NET WT 5 LB (2.3 kg)). This checks agreement within the photo read; it is not an independent contents test.
FDA recall appears in this brand's history
Brand-level context only, not a finding about this product. Belmont Confections Inc recalled a different or not-exactly-bound product on 2013-01-15: “Belmont was notified by their customer, Dymatize, that a consumer complained on an allergic reaction after eating the product. The consumer is allergic to peanuts & peanut protein.” (status: Terminated). The recalled product was: “DYMATIZE NUTRITION ELITE Gourmet Cookies & Cream 6-LAYER HI-PROTEIN BAR Label reads in part "NET WT***INGREDIENTS: Elite Protein Blend***Distributed by: Dymatize Enterprises, Inc. ” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 635 on 2026-01-28 to 687 on 2026-07-14 (net +52). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
This item belongs to a catalog variation family
The paid catalog links this exact item to a parent listing. Review counts on public product pages may be shared across sizes, flavors, or other variants, so the count history is listing context — not evidence that reviewers received or tested this exact variant.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
Why is this shown?
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Origin claim “…ss FOR EVERYONE: This protein powder that is Made in the USA is ideal for everyone. Whether you’re at the…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: customs records or label filings showing where ingredients were sourced and where it was made | “Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product. |
| Benefit claim “…he flexible protein blend for anytime muscle support* 25g of Protein 100% WHEY DETAILS THAT MATTE…” | Partly supported We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Published research exists for ingredients in this formula — see Related research below. Whether this product’s doses match those studies could not be confirmed. |
“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.
This label vs. the doses studied
Why is this shown?
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| prebiotic fiber (inulin-type) | Studies typically use 3 g–10 g. This product’s amount could not be read from public sources, so no comparison is possible. | |
Matching a studied dose does not mean the product works, and missing it does not mean it fails — it shows whether the label and the research are talking about the same amounts. Not a recommendation to take any amount.
Verifiability profile — 1 of 6 public signals
