Product Authentication Tips
We know that quality is as important to you as it is to us. Use the tips on this page to help authenticate original BSN made products.
NECK BANDS REMOVAL
As part of our continued sustainability effort, we are removing the plastic neck band from tubs of BSN products. This is a transition process, so you may receive a tub with or without the neck band depending on where or when you purchase.
PROTECTIVE SEAL
BSN products have a cardboard barrier that helps hold powder in place during shipping. This gloss white protective disk should be stuck to the top of the tub. Venting features may be visible on the seal to reduce pressure during transit. Check the seal on the outer rim of the tub has not been tampered with.
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.
DATE & BATCH CODES
On the bottom or side of protein tubs you’ll find ink jet printing listing a manufacture date, expiration date and batch code. Powdered products have a 2-year shelf life, so the dates should be 2 years apart.
