The panels worth reading
Spin the tub around. Supplement packs sold in Australia carry an information panel, an ingredient list, allergen statements, and a batch and expiry marking. The layout differs between products labelled as foods and products listed on the ARTG with an AUST L number. The panel is usually set out per serve and per 100 g, so check the column heading before you compare anything. Musashi Recover 100% Whey lists 25 g protein per serve across 60 serves in the 2 kg tub. Those numbers come straight off the pack.
A serve is whatever the maker says it is
Serve sizes vary from product to product. Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey states 24 g protein and 5.5 g BCAAs per serve, with 29 servings in the 907 g tub. Musashi Fuel Creatine states 5 g of creatine monohydrate per serve across 160 serves. Comparing two tubs only works when you compare like with like. For how much to use, follow the directions on the pack.
Batch codes, AUST L and printed marks
Near the base or lid you will find a batch code and a best-before date, stamped by the maker. Some listed products carry an AUST L number; the Musashi Fuel Creatine label shows AUST L 201963. Marks and statements printed on a pack, like the Informed Sport logo on the Musashi tubs, are the maker’s own statements. Scoopyard doesn’t test anything and makes no claims of its own. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
