Protein Factory fails label claims test

[1fast400]

I was sent a protein factory sample from Tony1 and Dio. Dio's has not been finshed yet.

Tony1 sent a complete sheet of what his sample had. According to Protein Factory per 100g serving it would contain:

Calories: 375.29
Fat: 1.00g
Total Carbs: 5.14g
Total Protein: 86.28g


The test done by AAC Labs via AOAC lab testing produced this result:

Calories: 312.00
Fat: 2.13g
Total Carbs 29.7g
Total Protein 63.6g



Now I'm going to catch a lot on this I'm sure. I'll have the lab results scanned onto my website within 24h and you can see for yourself.

On another note I had Inlarge II and Isomatrix tested:

Isomatrix had 3g more protein per serving, .4g less carbs and 1g of fat more than label claim. It tested very well

NlargeII had an semi-odd result. They had 75.8g of carbs instead of 86, but had 66.3g of protein in stead of 52.



Just thought I would let you guys know

Well that sure sucks......what kind of protein was it (from the protein factory)......did you let them know about it...if so what did they have to say?

also, have you ever tested optimum nutirition? here's the kind I mean:

Man, I've been referring people to protein factory for a long time pricks

I'd be interested to know about optimum also.

Yeah, I'd be curious to know what blend it was too.

I've heard the Optimum stuff has tested well. Someone posted something a while back about it, but there were no scanned results.

I been VERY skeptical of Proteinfactory for since I've heard of it. I know I've bought a ton of protein from them, but till now... who really friggin knew what they're really doing there? We just take X and Y's word for it that it's good. I'm glad someone stepped to the plate and proved a point. I know they aren't taking my money again.

This is irritating considering I just received an order costing a little over a $100.00. On this order I decided to separate my protein from the carbs on my post workout mix. The protein was 86% hydro 520 and 14% BCAA's. Well the moment I tried it I could tell it wasn't hydro 520. Told the girl and she said it has to be right because it checked with the guys sheet in the back. I said noway and Alex said I bet he put such in such in. THey went back and asked the guy and sure enough he used the wrong protein. Who ever put this order together also over charged me 24.00 because they totaled the quantity wrong. THis is the second time I was over charged due to adding the quantity wrong. I did just received the correct hydro 520 order and there is no denying this tastes as described. If you notice how this sample assayed out it looks like the amount of protein it should have had was replaced with carbs. I think they may ultimately have a mixing problem (quality control). There should be more testing because of human error mixing. Again i remember a while back when I emailed Alex to come on the bodybuilding.com forum I had stated several times in other posts that there were some things that needed addressed. One of those was how they blended the mix all the way down to just 1%, some photos of the operation, etc. I still want to beleive they are a good company but this needs to be addressed! I think human error with mixing is the only way aside from down right deception that the order could have been messed up. We do need more tests because I have a hard time believing they are trying to cheat anyone. THis company was started on the basis of saving us from being ripped off. The order tested was .35 micellar, .40 cfm, .10 egg, .05 hydro 520 and .05 fructose.

Im sorry the correct mix %'s were cfm whey 50, micellar 30, egg 10, hydro 520 5 and fructose 5. I was looking at two orders at once.

The chocolate mint Optimum nutrition tastes like chalk! I can't stand drinking that stuff.

My guess is that it was probably an employee error, mixing the wrong quatities and not mixing long enough vs downright deception. I would be interested in seeing how their pure protein tests vs claims.

Maybe Protein Factory gets their stuff mixed at the same contract manufacturer that does the HDT 1-AD. REally, I am serious. I could probably find out.
