What is in it
Ingredients (as submitted): WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE (MILK), SOY LECITHIN
The statement lists 2 ingredients at the top level, beginning with Whey Protein Isolate (milk), Soy Lecithin. It has no separate "Contains" line; a major allergen (the nine the FDA requires on labels: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, sesame) may be named inside the ingredients instead. For allergies, read the package: this is the record USDA holds (updated Feb 3, 2022), not the label on the shelf today.
