Proof, not promises. Backed by the lab, not just the label.
Anyone can print a number on a tub. We can show you where it came from. Every claim on this page traces back to a real document: the Fonterra batch our whey was made from, the independent test on every batch we pack, and the audited plant where it’s made.
Transparency shouldn't be a tagline, it should be a paper trail. Here’s what sits behind every tub of Xplosiv NZ Whey.
01
What’s in the tub is tested
Every batch is independently lab-tested for protein content, heavy metals, contaminants and 250+ banned substances. We’re publishing the results here, batch by batch. Not the first batch. Every batch.
02
Where it came from is traceable
Take any batch: our whey traces back through our production records to a single Fonterra batch. The same reference numbers appear across independent documents, ending in Fonterra’s signed Certificate of Analysis.
03
Where it’s made is verified
Blended and packed at VitaLabs, a New Zealand-owned GMP facility in Auckland, independently audited by SGS and AsureQuality to GMP-NZ, HACCP and MPI standards.
Tested. Every. Batch.
From protein-only, to a full panel, on every batch
We used to test protein content on selected batches. Now every batch is independently tested across a full panel, and we’re publishing the Certificate of Analysis here, batch by batch.
Protein content
Verified against the number on the label, within normal analytical variation, and on file for every batch.
Heavy metals
Screened for lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury, including contaminants that can come from added ingredients.
Contaminants
Microbiological and contaminant screening on the finished, blended and packed product, not just the raw whey.
250+ banned substances
HASTA certified - each certified batch screened against the WADA Prohibited List and publicly listed.

NZ Isolate, Vanilla
79.3g/100g protein95% of label
Independently tested by Eurofins (IANZ-accredited lab) using ISO 8968-1 (Kjeldahl, N×6.38), the reference method, against a label claim of 25 g per 30 g serve (83.3 g/100g). That’s inside our ±5% tolerance, for this exact batch.
Added ingredients like cocoa can carry their own contaminants, so heavy-metal and contaminant testing is done on the final product, after blending and packing. That’s where it counts.
Published as it lands.
Given what’s happening across the supplement industry right now, we moved fast - because that’s what this brand is built to do. This testing section is live and updated in real time. We’d rather get it in the open now, incomplete, than wait until it’s polished.
And if something’s not right, we’ll say so. Good or bad, the numbers go up. If something’s off, we’ll own it and fix it. Publicly. No exceptions.
How it’s made
Documented end to end
Made at VitaLabs in Auckland under a controlled, signed-off production system, where every step is checked and signed before a batch is released.
01
Goods arrive & get a number
Every incoming raw material is assigned its own unique Inwards Goods (IG) number. Nothing enters production unlabelled.
02
Dates checked, samples kept
Best-before dates and batch numbers are recorded on arrival, and a 50 g retention sample is kept so any batch can be re-checked later.
03
Pre-productionsign-off
Dates and batch numbers are re-verified, the formulation is confirmed against the approved master formula, and hygiene and equipment checks are signed.
04
Controlled blending
Blended in controlled sub-batches, then sieved for an even, consistent mix from the first scoop to the last.
05
In-line weight checks
Fill weights are checked throughout the run and held at or over target, never under. You get at least what’s on the label.
06
Seal, label & reject checks
Seal, label, batch number and best-before are checked and signed. Any unit that fails is pulled and recorded as a reject.
07
Sample pulled for testing
A sample from every batch goes for independent lab testing: the Certificate of Analysis behind “tested every batch”.
08
Yield recorded & released
Final yield is recorded and the batch is released only once every check is complete and signed off.
Traceable to the source
From our production sheet to Fonterra’s signed COA
“NZ whey” should mean something. Here’s one batch, traced end to end. Every link is backed by a document, and every document shares the same reference numbers.
