How this ranking is made
41 products in the aisle declare protein; 26 are ranked, leaving out 15 mixes, powders or concentrates (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.

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.
