Are your products tested for heavy metals?

Yes. Suppliers must provide documentation confirming testing for heavy metals including lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury. Our Informed Protein products undergo additional third-party testing. Throughout 2025, all tested products have shown heavy metal levels well within internationally recognised safety limits.

Why do plant-based products sometimes contain trace heavy metals?

Heavy metals occur naturally in soil and water. As plants grow, they absorb trace minerals from their environment - true for everything from oats and spinach to peas and rice. What matters is whether levels stay within safe thresholds. Ours do.

What certifications do your products hold?

We hold BRCGS AA grade certification at our main UK facility, plus third-party certifications through Informed Protein, Informed Choice and Informed Sport — each providing independent verification of quality, purity and safety.

Do you publish test results or Certificates of Analysis?

We maintain comprehensive testing records as part of our BRCGS-certified quality management system. For independent verification, you can look up our Informed Sport and Informed Protein products at wetestyoutrust.com , where every certified batch is listed with its test status.

Independent Verification

Standards aren't self-awarded.

Anyone can say they're high quality. We'd rather prove it.

That's why many of our products are independently tested and certified by some of the most respected programmes in sports nutrition. Every certification means another layer of scrutiny, because the highest standards should stand up to anyone's inspection.

Tested Twice. Every Time.

At the Myprotein Standards Academy, one test isn't enough.

Every product goes through rigorous testing before production begins and again before it reaches you.

From raw ingredient verification to finished product inspection, quality isn't a final checkpoint—it's built into every stage.

Our in-house quality systems include:

Our main facility in Warrington, UK, holds:

Raw material verification
In-process quality testing
Finished product inspection
Near Infrared (NIR) ingredient verification
X-ray foreign object detection
Advanced filtration systems

Because if it doesn't meet our standards, it doesn't leave the building.

Built in World-Class Facilities

Quality starts long before the scoop.

We manufacture across six Myprotein-owned production and development facilities in the UK, Poland and USA, giving us complete control over how our products are made.

Our flagship Warrington facility proudly holds:

BRCGS AA Grade — the highest possible food safety certification.

Owning production means owning quality. Every batch. Every day.

Trusted Ingredients

Every great product starts with the right ingredients.

Before any ingredient becomes a Myprotein product, every supplier must pass our rigorous approval programme aligned to the globally recognised BRCGS standard.

We assess suppliers on food safety, legality and quality before they become part of our supply chain—and continue monitoring them long after approval.

Because great products aren't made from shortcuts.

Setting the Standard for Safety

Heavy metals occur naturally in soil and can be found in many plant-based ingredients across the food industry.

Our job is to make sure levels remain well within internationally recognised safety limits.

That's why:

Suppliers test every raw material before we accept it.
We independently review testing documentation.
We maintain full traceability through our BRCGS quality management system.
Certified products undergo additional independent testing for heavy metals, pesticides and amino acid profiles.
You can even verify certified batches yourself at wetestyoutrust.com.

Production

In-House. In Control.

We manufacture across six in-house production and product development facilities in the UK, USA and Poland. Owning production means owning quality.

Our main facility in Warrington, UK, holds:

● BRCGS AA grade - the highest achievable rating in food safety certification

From formulation to final product, we control the process end-to-end. Consistency in every batch, guaranteed.

We also use select third-party warehouses globally - including in the US, Singapore and Australia - to get products to you faster, all held to the same quality standards.

Quality Control

Tested at Every Stage

We don't wait until the end to check quality. Our in-house facilities feature:

● Filtration systems - removing contaminants before production

● X-ray machines - detecting foreign objects down to microscopic levels

● Near-infrared (NIR) testing - verifying ingredient identity and purity in real-time

The production team runs checks throughout the entire process: raw material verification, in-process testing, and finished product inspection - all in line with industry best practice.

Suppliers and Raw Materials

Trusted Suppliers. Verified Ingredients.

Every ingredient starts with the right source. We operate a robust supplier approval and monitoring programme aligned with British Retail Consortium Global Standard (BRCGS) requirements - a globally recognised standard for food safety and quality.

All suppliers are evaluated on their ability to meet our specifications for food safety, quality and legality throughout the entire supply chain. Rigorous checks at every stage, not just the finish line.

Our Warrington facility meets the benchmark for global food safety. From accurate labelling to strict allergen control, we deliver world-class standards from source to shelf.
