The page does not establish that the 1,047 g package/panel is the exact 2LB retail SKU.; selected retail size: 2LB; servings per container on panel: 301 rounded scoop (34 g); approximately 27 servings per container (CINNABON® package-back image).

Certification records
  • Name: NSF Certified for Sport

    Recorded status: unverified

    Scope: Official NSF directory has a U.S. listing specifically for Transparent Labs Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate Milk Chocolate, powder; directory record lists package size 1047 g and serving size 1 scoop (34.9 g). This verifies a flavor-specific directory record, not the currently selected 2LB retail package, whose size does not match the directory listing.

    NSF detail also lists product type Amino Acid/Protein and claims free of gluten, dye, artificial flavors, and artificial sweeteners. No claim is made that this listing verifies efficacy or every current package/lot. Research status: Official directory-listed for Milk Chocolate; selected 2LB package scope not matched.

Price & termsListed price: $64.99 USD

$64.99, one-time purchase for the 2 lb Milk Chocolate package. The separate subscription offer showed $58.49, 10% off; one-time shipping and tax were not verified.

Package size, serving count, purchase type, shipping, taxes and current price can differ.
