NakPro Whey Gold: Citizens Protein Project 2 finding (2025)

NakPro Whey Gold was one of 34 whey protein powders tested in the Citizens Protein Project 2, a crowd-funded study published in Medicine on 14 Nov 2025. The laboratory measured 67.53 g protein per 100 g. The label claim, read from the pack photo in the study's supplementary master chart, is 72.74 g per 100 g (dry basis, all flavours) on the pack. The powder was clean on every contaminant panel: no lead, cadmium, mercury or arsenic above the limit of quantification, no aflatoxin, no progesterone, no undeclared sucrose or fructose and no taurine. The gap is on the protein number alone: the laboratory found 67.53 g per 100 g against 72.74 g on the label, about 7% short and outside the 5% tolerance the study used.

The study is independent laboratory work, not a regulatory action. It tested one batch of each product. Per-product figures are from the project's public results site and the paper's supplement; the paper itself reports group averages. No FSSAI action on this product is on record.
