Raw Grass Fed Whey Protein (Unflavored)

1. Ingredients 35% of the rating 5 of 5

   One ingredient, grass-fed whey protein concentrate: no soy lecithin, sweetener, flavor or filler.

2. Independent testing 35% of the rating 1 of 5

   Only the maker’s word: it says five tests are done and shows none, no certifier lists it, and no independent group has tested it.

3. Sourcing 10% of the rating 3 of 5

   Jersey cows on small US farms are named, but no farm, certifier or audit; this line is not organic.

4. Trust 10% of the rating 3 of 5

   No Prop 65 notice, recall or warning letter found, but the “raw” name sits on pasteurized whey and its lab reports are on request only.

5. Value 10% of the rating 5 of 5

   $1.32 for 25 g of protein at 5 lb, the lowest of the powders we reviewed.

• Maker’s own test Raw Organic Whey’s own statement (no lab named)

  Says third-party labs test the whey for heavy metals, antibiotics, pesticides, mycotoxins and melamine, and lists those five headings, but shows no result and tells readers to email for reports. We have seen no lead, cadmium or arsenic figure. Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)

Is it really raw?

No. The maker’s FAQ (opens in a new tab) says the milk gets a single flash pasteurization at 71.7°C (161°F) for 15 seconds, and drying stays below 100°F. “Raw” is the brand name. BarBend (opens in a new tab) reports the same for this line.

Where are the lab reports?

The maker’s lab page (opens in a new tab) lists five kinds of test and says to email support@raworganicwhey.com for the reports. None is posted. We have asked for three recent reports and are waiting. Consumer Reports (opens in a new tab) advises checking that results are posted before you buy.

Is it grass-fed, and is it organic?

The maker says Jersey cows graze open pasture over 300 days a year on small US farms. It names no farm and no certifier. This line is not USDA organic; the maker sells a separate organic whey at about 37% more.

Is “cold-processed” and “undenatured” true?

Those words come from the maker’s Amazon listing. The FAQ describes pasteurization at 161°F with enzyme separation and low-temperature drying. We found no test of denaturation.

Do influencers or paid reviewers push it?

We found no influencer campaign or ownership tie. The main outside review we found, BarBend’s (opens in a new tab), says it receives free products and earns commissions on its links, and it says the maker offered certificates of analysis.

• The label is one ingredient. Amazon’s listing shows “Grass Fed Whey Protein Concentrate,” and BarBend’s 2024 review reads 21 g of protein, 2 g of sugar and 1 g of fat in a 25 g serving of five tablespoons. The maker adds no soy lecithin, sweetener or filler.
• The maker is plain about the processing. Its FAQ says the milk gets a single flash pasteurization at 71.7°C (161°F) for 15 seconds, that drying stays below 100°F, and that the whey is separated with enzymes, not acid. The FAQ is written for its organic line; BarBend reports the same for this one.
• The price is low: $99.99 for 5 lb at the maker, about $1.11 a serving or $1.32 for 25 g of protein, the lowest of the powders we reviewed, with free US shipping.
• We found no enforcement record. No California Prop 65 notice names the company (Attorney General’s database, 2026-10-23), and no FDA warning letter or recall is for it.

• No certifier lists it. It is not on NSF Certified for Sport’s brand list, or on Informed Choice’s or Informed Sport’s October 2026 lists.
• Testing is described, not shown. The maker’s lab page names heavy metals, antibiotics, pesticides, mycotoxins and melamine and says to email support@raworganicwhey.com for the reports. Amazon says “third-party tested” and names no lab. We have seen no lead figure, and neither Consumer Reports nor Clean Label Project tested this powder.
• “Raw” is a brand name here. The FAQ says the milk is pasteurized, and Amazon’s listing also says “cold-processed” and “undenatured,” which are the maker’s words. Our raw milk guide covers what pasteurization does and does not change.
• “Grass-fed,” “Jersey cows” and “small US farms” are the maker’s words, with no certifier or farm named. This line is not sold as organic; the USDA organic line costs about 37% more. A concentrate has more lactose than an isolate.
