Whey Gold Standard
FILL SIZE

Due to vacuum packaging, the cup may appear two-thirds full upon opening. This is normal as the powder settles and does not affect the weight or the number of servings indicated on the label.

NECK STRIP

To align with our sustainability policy and goals, we have decided to remove this part of the packaging. The packaging may vary for a limited time while this change is implemented.

VACUUM SEAL

Optimum Nutrition protein cups are sealed with a cardboard vacuum barrier that keeps the powder in place during shipping. This glossy white protective disc should be affixed to the top of the cup.

LOT NUMBER AND DATE

Every Optimum Nutrition product has a printed lot number and date. The best-before date and batch numbers are located on the side of the cup or on the back of the large pouches.

SPOON

Gold Standard 100% Whey cups (UK & EU) now include a clear plastic spoon. This spoon is not branded.

*Due to a recent change, we have added a clear plastic spoon. You may still find gold spoons in your cups for a limited time.

CUP DESIGN

Gold Standard 100% Whey cups (UK and EU) have a circular indentation at the bottom. There is also a line running through the center.
