nutricost isolate is 30g in 35g scoop https://www.amazon.com/Nutricost-...B01HOPJAAE
ascent blend is 25g in 33g scoop https://www.costco.com/p/-/ascent.../100985271
Also higher calorie - 140cal with 100 of those from protein, again high for isolate. But, sometimes those fillers make it taste better.
I also generally prefer sucralose to stevia - tastes better, although I realize that is an unpopular opinion around here.
I'm going to get one bag just to see if it has it on the actual basg when I get it in, as I'm curious.

also, Amazon wants to collect sales tax on this in WA where food is not taxed. For the Nutricost deal they didn't collect sales tax. Very inconsistent.
Edit: it looks like it's because this protein lists supplement facts instead of nutritional facts, making it a supplement, while Nutricost is labeled as food. Weird.

Huel Black Edition: 6.3 mcg lead/serving and 9.2 mcg cadmium. NSF Certified testing claimed it to be clean.
Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass: 8.5 mcg arsenic per serving. ON claims it is "regularly tested".
Naked Nutrition Vegan Mass Gainer: 7.7 mcg lead per serving. It is "Independent Lab Tested"
Vega Premium Sport: Over 4.1 mcg cadmium. It is Informed Choice and NSF certified.
Some of the supplement industry claims that these are safe levels. Maybe for one serving a day (iffy), but if you are a bodybuilder taking 3+ servings/day, these levels are pretty dangerous.
If four different testers and brands have this problem, I would go far enough to say the industry has a problem.
Face it, the supplement industry is unregulated. But, third party testing is not a replacement for regulation - it is just meaningless marketing hype. The industry picks testers that will pass them. The testers don't flat-out lie, but they mess with what they call "safe" levels, saying 10mcg of lead is safe, or only testing for steroids and not testing for toxins at all.
Your best bets are:
1) Real whole, natural food. More expensive. Less convenient, but you know what you are eating. When I eat chicken, I know it is chicken. When I eat flavored powder, not so sure what it is.
2) Isolates. The manufacturing process for isolates filters out most of the bad stuff (along with the lactose and cholesterol), and isolates did fairly well in CR testing. Heavy metals can still be added with poor manufacturing or companies just outright lying and not giving you isolate though.
Vegan and concentrates are riskier, as they aren't filtered as much.
