Look up the Clean Label Project research about many protein powders of all kinds and sources. Vega came out last with a lot of Lead, Arsenic, BPA and other toxins. I have been using Vega for many years and am extremely disappointed. Vega wrote me that they stand behind their products but would not share their own tests. That is very fishy since if you have nothing to hide why not share your own results. Very unfortunate and disappointing! Stay away until they become more transparent.

How to Mislead and Make a Good Product Bad

So, as others have stated - this was a very good product. Personally, I've been using it for about three years. The "new" formula, which Vega has stated in response to other customer complaints, is a result of customer feedback. I guess all those other customer's asked Vega to include a larger scoop, advertise that the new formula has 20% more protein (as a result of the larger scoop - photo) and change the flavor so it now has a fake chemical taste to it. Vega, please feel free to create a "Classic" formula (like Coke did after their screw-up) so those of us who don't appreciate being mislead (just to help your bottom line, after all - you didn't increase the size of the container, so it's less servings for the same amount of money) and consider the "new and improved" product to be a total flop.

New formula is way too sweet

I used this protein powder for a few years and really liked it, and then got away from it for a while. Last week I went back and purchased a new container of this, which was my favorite (not insanely sweet, not chalky, minimal chemical-y taste). Sadly, they seem to have changed their formula, since this new tub is SUPER-sweet. It's like they took the old formula and just dumped a bucket of sugar in there. I love that this is vegan, and it still dissolves well and is better than many of the options out there, but I was disappointed that they screwed with the formula and think they would have been better off just leaving things as they were. PS. I am NOT a hugely healthy eater, and I eat lots of sugary food. Sometimes reading other peoples' reviews I don't know if the thing is really super-sweet, or if it just tastes that way to people who don't eat a lot of sugar. I eat plenty of processed foods and sugar, and this is too sweet for me.

Say No to Lead and Arsenic!

DO NOT USE... "on average twice the amount of lead per serving," in addition to more "mercury, cadmium, and arsenic . . . in several cases above health-based guidelines." Wait for manufacture to cleanup their problem before using again. I started for a while and noticed strange problems. Then reports came out. Question answered!
Better choices:
Puori
BioChem
Body Fortress
Performix
Pure Protein

Flavor: ChocolateSize: XL TubVerified Purchase

As a long time vegetarian and consumer of protein shakes, I've had my fair share of unpleasant flavors and can usually choke them down without much complaint, but the taste of this product is absolutely disgusting. I can't even describe how bad it is other than to say it tastes nothing like chocolate. While the profile of ingredients is quite impressive, it is pointless if the product is not tolerable, To make matters worse, this upsets my stomach. Again, not a reaction I've ever had to a protein powder. At this point, I am unsure I will be able to finish this product, despite its very high price tag.

Way better for you than meat, and probably at least as much protein. Tastes great too.

This is super chalky tasting and very thick

This is super chalky tasting and very thick. I can only do half a scoop. The ingredients are great, but they need to work on the taste and consistancy of the product.
