the listing info and product photos on Amazon's pages have not been updated for years and what you will receive will be completely different than advertised - amazon will not let you return food items regardless of their listing being a lie now
MuscleTech is now almost completely concentrate, find the label on another site or their own site and you'll see the change

muscletech is now just concentrate, it's like 97% concentrate, 2% isolate and 1% peptides, the new label is crafted to make it a complete marketing lie
I'll never buy it again

Take lots of screenshots of the Amazon pages and listings, the product you will receive will be completely different. I argued to several different CSRs and they all refused to refund or let me return it.
It's almost entirely concentrate now.

Edit: found the updated ingredients here where it lists the Soy/Sunflower Lecithin before salt. And whey concentrate before the isolate. So yeah quality has definitely decreased. Not sure how noticeable it would actually be though? That's a really good price.

The ingredients and label have changed, with the product now mostly using whey concentrate instead of what is shown in the product photos and in the description on the Amazon page.
Amazon listing - The photos show "Peptides & Isolate Primary Source" on the front label and the ingredient list starts with Isolate protein & peptide blend in front of whey concentrate.
Actual product - The tub I received on May 6th, 2023 says Ultra-Pure Whey Formula with no mention of peptides or isolate on the front. The ingredient list starts with whey protein blend with whey concentrate as the first ingredient and no mention of the 97% isolate.
Concentrate has less whey by volume, containing more components of the milk it is sourced from. This means more fats and more carbs (lactose!). It also means your caloric intake and macros can be off compared to what you expected. Plus concentrate is just cheaper to make with less processing, so you are being sold on the idea of something better than what you are getting.
This also has less calcium, less iron, more sodium, and less potassium on the actual label compared to the photo.
This wouldn't be so bad if the listing and product actually matched. But the difference can matter to some and shouldn't be ignored. Both in quality and potential effects on ingestion.
