Neck Bands and Stickers Removal
As part of our continued sustainability effort, we are removing the black plastic neck band and gold hologram from tubs of Gold Standard 100% Whey. This is a transition process so you may receive a tub with or without the neck band depending on where or when you purchase.
Other products that have black, silver or clear plastic neck bands will also be removed in the future.
TUB DESIGN
The crease on the bottom of U.S. made tubs of protein is a mold mark from plastic thermoforming. It looks the same on every tub and is normal. Tubs produced in the U.K. have a circular indentation without a line running across the bottom. This is normal for European made tubs.
DATE & BATCH CODES
Under the cap of protein tubs is a cardboard vacuum barrier that helps hold powder in place during shipping. This round disk is not for sanitation and is not glued into place. It is common for the cardboard to stick under the cap. The round seal under the caps of bottles containing capsules, tablets and softgels is glued down and typically won’t stick under the cap.
