Clean Label Project's Protein Powder Report Overlooks Basic Scientific Principles Several NSF International clients have asked my opinion about the Clean Label Project's recent press release and report on contaminants in protein powders. As a scientist, I'm deeply troubled by the methods the Clean Label Project used in its study and report. I trust that the organization and its leaders have good intentions, but their eagerness to warn consumers about contaminants may have caused them to overlook some basic scientific principles. In sensational language, the report claims to have found "detectable" or "measureable" levels of heavy metals and other contaminants in protein powders - implying that any detectable level of contamination presents a health risk to consumers. But it's not that simple.
