Vega Sport Premium Protein (now Vega Protein + Recovery)

Lead per serving in Consumer Reports' 2025 lab test (lower is better): Poor. Consumer Reports' October 2025 test of Vega Premium Sport Plant-Based Protein (chocolate, one 44 g scoop) found lead at 185 percent of CR's level of concern per serving, under Okay to Eat Occasionally, with a limit of 3¾ servings a week, and enough cadmium that one serving is just over CR's 4.1 microgram level. Vega told CR the product was renamed Vega Protein + Recovery and that its pea protein is now sourced from North America, so the result may not describe the current formula. source↗ 2026-09
