Question 1

Are there pesticides or insecticide used on the farms you source your keys from?

Accepted Answer

The Pea Protein Isolate used in Clean Lean protein is tested quarterly for Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury, and Lead.
Because we use BPA free packaging, we do not regularly test for BPA; there is no need. However, because of the recent publicity surrounding BPA’s and consumer concern, we will be introducing a BPA testing regime just to satisfy customers.
For your interest, we also test for allergens quarterly and gluten in every batch. Clean Lean Protein is also certified by the Non-GMO Project and certified Kosher and Halal.
Much of the contaminant concerns are due to the source of plant proteins from regions where the soil contamination is high and where the water used in processing may also be contaminated. It is a particular problem with rice, which absorbs the contaminants more readily. That is why we have deliberately chosen pea protein and to source that protein from Europe. The fields of Northern France are regarded to be very safe for growing and the process used for isolation is completely free of chemicals.

Question 2

Hi, love this protein and have 3 swimming daughters using it. Do you offer the 1kg container?

Accepted Answer

Hi there, thanks for your question. We don't have the 1kg in the USA just yet but do plan on releasing that size in the next 2-3 months.

Question 3

Where does the caffeine come from?

Accepted Answer

Hi there,

Thank you so much for your message and interest in our products. I would love to provide you with my assistance here.

Our Smooth Vanilla protein does not contain caffeine. The following Clean Lean Protein Flavors contain caffeine: Real Coffee, Coffee Coconut + MCTs, and Vanilla Matcha, and minimal amounts in Rich Chocolate. Please see the specified average values below.

Real Coffee: 30 milligrams

Coffee Coconut + MCTs: 10.48 milligrams

Vanilla Matcha: 60 milligrams

Rich Chocolate: 4 milligrams (equivalent to less than a quarter the amount of that in a cup of black tea)

Please let me know if you have any questions or if we can help with anything else.

Thanks again for reaching out and have a great day!

Best, 
Kelly

Question 4

Your product description says free of lectins, can you elaborate on this, do you specially process the peas to remove the lectins?

Accepted Answer

From their website:

Peas contain relatively high levels of lectins, but pea protein isolate is practically free from lectins. While peas contain around 37.1 HU/mg protein, pea protein isolate has only ~0.2 HU/mg. So, pea protein isolate would not pose any lectin-related problems for health. In the case of Clean Lean Protein, our patented isolation process renders them FREE of lectins.
