Question 1

The bottle says us pea protein. is the pea protein not processed in china like the other brands?

Accepted Answer

Garden of Life SPORT Organic Plant-Based Protein contains 30 grams of Organic Pea Protein that was grown and processed right here in the U.S. We worked with organic farmers here in the United States for years to develop an Organic Pea supply that could keep up with our needs, and we will continue to work with American farmers to grow sustainable, Organic ingredients. While the product is made in the U.S.A. and most of our ingredients are grown in the U.S.A., we use the highest quality ingredients from around the world depending on where we can find the cleanest source.

Question 2

Are any of the organic Garden of Life lines a product of China?

Accepted Answer

I have the SPORT organic plant based protein and it stashed, "30 g complete organic plant protein including U.S.A organic pea protein." And it also states made in U.S.A. from foods grown in USA and other countries, but it doesn't list any other country.

Question 3

The container is made of plastic #2 which contains bpa & bps.will these chemicals transfer to the powder?

Accepted Answer

The HDPE #2 plastic bottle used for our Garden of Life SPORT Organic Plant-Based Protein is recyclable and both BPA and BPS Free.

HDPE stands for High-Density Polyethylene and is found in containers with the recycle symbol 2, and is used for common household items like milk jugs, laundry detergent bottles, plastic bags, etc.  HDPE is a very durable plastic designed to withstand high temperatures.

I hope this clarifies.

Question 4

what are the ingredients of Organic Vanilla Flavors?

Accepted Answer

Typically, the flavor profile of an ingredient changes when blended with other contents. The word "Flavor" is used when a combination of constituents is blended, in order to match the - sweet, sour, bitter, salty or savory - profile of a particular food.
 
Flavor constituents are derived from foods (a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material), or a fermented product from these foods.

In the case of the Garden of Life SPORT Plant Based Protein, the Organic Flavors are considered proprietary information.
Although, all of the flavors that Garden of Life uses in our products are Certified Organic and non-GMO Project Verified.  
 
For our Vanilla and Chocolate products, the Organic Flavors are sourced from Organic Vanilla and Organic Cocoa Beans.

I hope this helps.
