15 protein listings under the Garden of Life brand on the check date, US and Canadian. The five above are the US listings for the products this site tracks.
Informed Choice: listed
Checked 2026-10-11 in the Informed Choice directory.
- Sport Certified Grass Fed Whey (certified 14-Jul-2017, North America)
- Sport Organic Plant-Based Protein (certified 26-Jan-2017, North America)
Both entries said that no batches are currently associated with the product, so they name no lot.
Clean Label Project: no entry found
Checked 2026-10-11: no entry for this brand in the Clean Label Project directory (read the certified-brand index, which named 154 brands on the check date). That is a statement about what the programme publishes, not a finding about the product.
