Hi -,
There’s been a lot of chatter this year about heavy metals in vegan protein powders. If you’ve seen the headlines, it’s understandable to pause — trust matters when it’s something you’re using every day.
We take the testing of our Organic Plant Protein (and all of our products) very seriously. That’s why we recently started publishing our third-party test results, so you can see the data for yourself.
Here’s the part that often gets left out of those conversations: heavy metals are naturally occurring elements found in soil. All plants absorb trace amounts as they grow. Organic ingredients can sometimes test slightly higher because they’re grown without synthetic soil treatments — which makes careful sourcing and testing even more important.
What actually matters is how much is present.
For lead, many consumer reports use a conservative benchmark of 0.5 micrograms per serving. Our Organic Plant Protein tested below that threshold, and far below FDA limits.
You canview the third-party test results for our recent batches directly on our site in the “Is it tested for heavy metals?” section — because transparency matters to us.
With Gratitude,
Lisa Gonzalez-Turner, Founder of wholier
