Protein Spiking Alleged in Rogue Nutrition Rogue Whey, Other Protein Powders

Several protein supplement manufacturing companies have been allegedly engaging in “protein spiking”, which means adding ingredients like amino acids so the powder registers higher in proteins than the real amount.

Rogue Nutrition Rogue Whey is one of the protein powder products affected by these allegations and has landed the manufacturing company Rogue Nutrition in hot water.

A protein powder class action lawsuit has been filed against Rogue Nutrition, along with fellow protein manufacturers, Core Formulations and BioHealth Nutrition, for allegedly inaccurately representing the amount of protein present in their products.

The protein powder lawsuit illustrates the true protein levels of Rogue Nutrition Rogue Whey and alleges that the company participated in protein spiking to help misrepresent their product’s label.

Los Angeles lead plaintiff Bernardo DeLeon is filing the protein powder lawsuit against the manufacturing companies and is filing on behalf of other California consumers who purchased the powder during the class period.

DeLeon is one of thousands of California residents who purchased Rogue Nutrition Rogue Whey or other protein powders from Feb. 01, 2012 to present.

DeLeon and other consumers purchased these protein powders after reviewing the companies’ claims, and would not have bought the powders or purchased them at high prices if they had been aware of the alleged protein spiking.

Overview of Class Action Protein Powder Lawsuit

The protein powder lawsuit alleges the protein supplement manufacturing companies had done this to maximize profits, while lowering the cost of goods in making their protein powders.

Furthermore the protein powder lawsuit cites scientific tests conducted on the protein powders, which showed a lower protein content than presented on the products’ labels.

The prices customers pay for these protein supplements are costly, with Rogue Nutrition Rogue Whey ranging between $59.99 for a two pound container and $89.99 for a five pound container.

Rogue Nutrition Rogue Whey and other protein supplements made by the manufacturing companies claim to have no amino acids or other ingredients that contribute to protein spiking. This directly contradicts the scientific findings and allegations made in the protein powder lawsuit.

Overall, the protein powder class action lawsuit alleges Core Formulations and the other protein powder manufacturers either knew or should have known that their marketing claims were not true.

DeLeon and other California customers claim that they would not have paid the amount of money they did for Rogue Nutrition Rogue Whey or other protein powders if they had known the products had been subjected to protein spiking.

The Protein Powder Spiking Class Action Lawsuit is Bernardo DeLeon v. Michael Santana, an individual and doing business as Core Formulations et al., Case No. BC611621, in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County.
