Mikuna Chocho Plant Protein products have been third-party tested in laboratories both locally and internationally.

We partner with Eurofins Scientific and Medallion Laboratories, both of which are fully accredited and globally recognized for their high standards in testing and analysis.

Mikuna Pure Chocho Plant Protein tests below the Prop 65, FDA limits and Consumer Reports level of concern.

Our independent third-party testing indicates lectin has not been detected in any of our products.

We test our Pure Chocho Protein Powder, our main ingredient, for over 50 organochlorine, organophosphate, and pyrethroid pesticides using advanced and rigorous testing methods, with all results showing no presence or detection.

This third-party verified screening ensures your protein is clean and free from pesticides. We go beyond regulatory limits to deliver purity you can trust.

Our COAs are available below.

Gluten concentration tested negative (<5 ppm) using an immuno-chromatographic method in our testing.

Independent laboratory analysis shows our Mikuna Chocho Plant Protein (Pure) contains <20 mg/kg of oxalic acid, placing it at the low end of the oxalate spectrum when compared with foods documented in scientific literature.

Scientific sources:Peer-reviewed food oxalate analyses published in Nutrients / PubMed Central (PMC), clinical oxalate food composition lists from academic urology programs (UCI Kidney Stone Center; Wake Forest Urology), and independent laboratory testing by Eurofins Scientific.

FODMAP is a scientific acronym describing a group of carbohydrates that can be poorly absorbed in the small intestine and fermented by gut bacteria, which may cause digestive symptoms in some individuals.

Independent laboratory testing of Mikuna Pure Chocho Plant Protein shows that naturally occurring FODMAP-associated sugars, including raffinose and stachyose, are present only in trace amounts. These compounds are commonly found at significantly higher levels in many legumes. While individual tolerance may vary, this analysis helps illustrate the naturally low presence of these carbohydrates in chocho.

The Consumer Reports article published via Today and NRP raised real concerns. We’re answering with independent lab results and full COAs.

Consumer Reports tested 23 protein powders and >70% had lead ≥ 0.5 µg/day (their concern threshold).

Mikuna was NOT named — but we’re stepping up anyway to share our results with all of our customers.
