Why this ruling

Myprotein is a UK sports nutrition brand best known for its Impact Whey protein powders. It answers the Halal question with a dedicated page listing the products it says are Halal-certified.

What Myprotein lists

The page says certification "applies only to the specific flavours identified on each product page".[1] The flavours it lists are:

  • Impact Whey Protein: Vanilla, Natural Vanilla, Chocolate Brownie, Chocolate Smooth, Natural Chocolate, White Chocolate, Cookies and Cream.
  • Impact Whey Isolate: Unflavoured, Vanilla, Natural Vanilla, Chocolate Smooth, Chocolate Brownie, Salted Caramel, Strawberry Cream.
  • Vimto range: Clear Whey Protein (Original, and Orange, Strawberry and Lime), Impact Creatine and Impact Pre-Workout.

Flavours not on the list

Myprotein sells many more flavours than these. Its statement does not cover them, so for any other flavour the Halal question is open: whey raises the rennet question, and flavourings and additives can come from animal sources. Check the product page for your flavour, or ask Myprotein, before relying on it.

For the supplement on its own, see Creatine; for bars, see Protein bars.

Where you'll find it

  • Whey and whey isolate protein shakes
  • Clear whey drinks, creatine and pre-workout

Scholarly view

Whey is a by-product of cheese-making, so the usual Halal question is whether the cheese used animal rennet, and whether flavourings or additives come from animal sources. A Halal certificate settles those questions for the products it covers. Myprotein limits its certification to named flavours, so the certificate answers the question only for those flavours.
