70% of 36 popular protein supplements sold in India mislabeled, 14 contain toxins, says new study
No regulator has acted on this finding. It comes from a published study or a private testing company, and the brand may dispute it.
Scope. A record here does not by itself mean a product or company is unsafe or banned today. Regulatory actions can apply to one batch, one formulation, one period or one state. Always check the linked government document for the current position, and tell us if something is out of date. How we label records.
Below: Blacklisted's explanationWe explain what the test or study found. No regulator has acted on it.
Key facts
- Product
- Nutrilite All Plant Protein Powder
- Finding (CPP1)
- Aflatoxin above the permitted limit (figure as reported in the paper)
- Brand response
- Disputed the finding (statement wording and source:)
- Regulator action
- None on record
Amway's Nutrilite All Plant Protein Powder was one of 36 products in the Citizens Protein Project 1, a self-funded study by a group of clinicians and citizens published in Medicine in April 2024. The study reported aflatoxin in the sample above the permitted limit; the measured figure and the limit applied are to be quoted from the paper before publication. Amway disputed the result. The company's statement has been reported in the press; its full wording is not published.
Aflatoxins are toxins produced by moulds on crops such as groundnut and soya, and their presence in a plant-protein powder points to raw-material quality in that lot. Because contamination varies between batches, a single positive sample is a signal rather than a description of the product line.
No FSSAI recall, prohibition or notice against Amway India is on record, and Nutrilite products remain on sale through the company's direct-selling network. Amway was not included in the 2025 second round of the project.
What this means for you
One study, one product, disputed
The finding comes from a single tested sample in a published study. Amway rejects it. No regulator has tested the product publicly.
Aflatoxin is a batch issue
Aflatoxin comes from mould on raw ingredients and varies by lot. A finding in one sample does not describe every tub.
This is a record of official orders, not medical advice. Do not stop a prescribed medicine without asking your doctor or pharmacist.
