The verdict

Whey Protein by Body Fortress scores 70/100 in PlainFoodSafe's ingredient screening. We compared its 27 labeled ingredients with FDA SAFFA regulatory records and CSPI Chemical Cuisine ratings; 2 ingredients are flagged for caution. The 27-component label is layered, beginning with Super Whey Protein Blend, Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Isolate. Start with any flagged rows, then check the nutrition grade and serving size instead of treating one roll-up score as the whole decision. This is not a recall, allergy, medical, or dietary-safety determination.

Screening model notes

How Nutri-Score, NOVA, and list length read this record

The composite for this product falls in the second band of the four-tier framework. That band collects labels whose registry-rated components pull the derived score down measurably without dominating it. Position inside a band is not visible from the band name, and two labels sharing it can differ in how many components were rated and how severely. This is a threshold on an index computed here from public data, not a regulatory classification of any kind; the exact cut-offs are published on the methodology page.

Nutri-Score is not defined for this product's category. The model excludes certain categories by design — among them plain waters, herbs, teas and coffees, and some single-ingredient products — rather than attempting a grade and failing. No nutritional band therefore accompanies the additive screen on this page, and its absence is a property of the category rather than a finding about this particular label. The registry screen below is unaffected by the exclusion and covers additive ratings as normal.

This label parsed into a long component list. Where many entries are screened at once, the composite tends to reflect the overall mix of registry ratings returned rather than the rating of any one entry. Longer declarations also carry more sub-listed and compound entries, where a parenthetical group is resolved into its parts, so the parsed count can exceed what a reader counts on the packaging.

How It Compares to Its Category

Among the 3,895 products we've scored in the Dietary supplements category, the average safety score is 93.5/100. Whey Protein scores 23.5 points below that category average (70/100 vs. 93.5/100), so it is a comparatively weaker pick for shoppers screening within that category specifically, rather than against the product catalog as a whole.

Ingredient-list length is a descriptive property of the label, not a safety rating. A longer list is not automatically worse and a shorter one is not automatically better; the count is shown so the label can be placed against a comparable population. The comparison here runs against the 2,658 Dietary supplements products we publish with a parsed label, not against the whole catalogue, because list length varies far more between categories than within one.
