How this ranking is made

10,454 products in the aisle declare protein; 10,416 are ranked, leaving out 38 records above 26.7 g per 100 g (1.25 times the aisle's 99th percentile; a name or brand built on protein, such as protein, skyr or ultra-filtered, is exempt) or whose label declares more protein, fat and carbohydrate than its calories can hold (each rule). Values are per 100 g as each manufacturer submitted them to USDA, one product per UPC (its newest submission that meets the data contract), and one per product sold under several UPCs with the same label. The top 100 are shown; each was read again from USDA's live record at this release, and USDA's corrections are applied.

Download: the top 250 as CSV (CC BY 4.0).

What this ranking does not measure

Taste, price, where it is sold and whether the recipe changed since the manufacturer's last submission. Each product page shows the date of its record.
