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
Intake method matches the research
Nothing in this listing contradicts how these ingredients were studied (prebiotic fiber). For example, prebiotic fiber: daily use; effects build over weeks as gut flora shift. Sources: NIH ODS — Fiber overview (MVMS context), PubMed search: inulin prebiotic randomized trial.
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.
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.
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.
Past FDA recall bound to this product identity (closed)
The public record binds this recall through product_brand_title; FDA lists the case as Terminated. Belmont Confections Inc recalled it 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.”. 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.
