ISO Sensation Whey Protein is one of the most popular whey proteins on the Indian market. It’s known for its excellent quality and fantastic taste. However, because ISO Sensation is so popular, it’s also become a target for counterfeiters.
Here are nine easy tricks to help you spot a fake ISO Sensation whey protein tub.
Note: This blog post will cover the basics and then go into more detail on advanced methods for detecting ISO Sensation.
Plus, we’ll do a real vs. fake comparison to show you what to look for. Let’s get started!
Basic Detection Methods
You can use the following nine detection methods to spot a fake ISO sensation tub.
These methods will only indicate if anything is interesting or suspicious outside the tub.
But don’t worry because we have listed more advanced techniques in the second part to be extra sure!
Step 1: Check The Importer Tag
Ultimate Nutrition has authorized Shri Balaji Overseas (GMC) and Grace Enterprises (KAR) to import ISO Sensation 93 in India.
Both these importers add importer tags with scratch codes on their tubs. You can find these tags on top of your jar and verify them in the following ways:
- GMC: After you scratch the code, you can send it as an SMS to +91-8510012244 for verification.
- Grace: After you scratch the code, you can visit this URL for verification.
GMC also includes a hologram on their jar.
The current price (MRP) of ISO Sensation 93 imported by Grace Enterprises is ₹9499 and is subject to change depending upon market conditions.
Ultimate Nutrition has also mentioned a list of unauthorized importers on their website.
The above list can help you check if an unauthorized importer has imported your tub.
If your ISO Sensation 93 tub has an incorrect importer tag or is missing one, then your tub is most likely fake.
Please note that the list of importers can change with time. If you want to make sure then you contact Ultimate Nutrition here.
Step-2: Check The Seal
All ISO Sensation 93 tubs include a high-quality tamper-evident seal. This seal has been designed to reveal if the opening of a tub has been interfered with.
If this seal looks broken or damaged, your ISO Sensation 93 tub is most likely fake.
Step-3: Check For Registered Trademark ® Symbol
Ultimate Nutrition and IsoChill are registered trademarks. Both phrases will have an ® symbol attached to them whenever they are mentioned on the jar.
If this symbol is missing from your ISO Sensation 93 tub, it’s most likely fake.
Step-4: Check For Green Dot
It’s compulsory for all vegetarian food products in India to have a green FSSAI dot.
This green dot is usually present on the importer tag or on the label where the importer information is mentioned.
Please note that tubs imported by Shri Balaji Overseas (GMC) will have a green dot beside the Ultimate Nutrition Logo on the label. This green dot can sometimes get covered with the hologram sticker.
If you can’t find this green dot on your ISO Sensation 93 tub, it’s most likely fake.
Step-5: Check The Supplement Facts
Ultimate Nutrition has mentioned each flavor’s supplement facts on their official website.
Always check your tub and tally the quantity of ingredients with the ones mentioned on the official website.
If you find any significant discrepancy, your ISO Sensation 93 tub might be fake.
Please note that labeling formats may vary in different countries. If you want to be extra sure, please contact Ultimate Nutrition via email.
Step-6: Check Flavor and Weight
Ultimate Nutrition ISO Sensation 93 is available in a 2lbs jar and 5lbs tub.
You can find the following flavors on the official website:
- Cafe Brazil
- Chocolate Fudge
- Cookies N Cream
- Natural
- Strawberry
- Vanilla Bean
- Banana
Your product might be fake if you find it in a different-sized jar or a different flavor.
Step-7: Check The Bar Code
All Ultimate Nutrition ISO Sensation 93 tubs contain a bar code that helps store employees enter the details of the product in their system.
You can use a simple bar code scanner to scan this code. Upon scanning, it should point to the same product, i.e., Ultimate Nutrition ISO Sensation 93 5lbs.
If this bar code is missing or points to a completely different product, then your ISO Sensation 93 tub is most likely fake.
Step-8: Check Manufacturers Address & Importer Details
ISO Sensation 93 is manufactured in the USA. The manufacturer’s address and the importer details are printed on the bottom left portion of the label.
Your ISO Sensation 93 tub might be fake if it contains an Indian manufacturing address or if the above information is completely missing.
Step-9: Check The Base Of The Tub
Always check the base of your ISO Sensation 93 tub for lot number, manufacturing, and expiry dates.
The manufacturing and expiry dates are usually printed with yellow ink in MM/YY format and will be 3yrs apart.
It will also have a recycle triangle with the digit 5 mentioned inside. This triangle indicates that it’s made up of a plastic called polypropylene.
If this information is missing on your ISO Sensation 93 tub or the dates have been printed with low-quality ink, then your tub is most likely fake.
Advanced Detection Methods
This section will discuss in-depth detection methods that you can use to spot a fake ISO sensation tub.
These secrets have never been revealed before!
So keep your eyes peeled and pay attention because these methods are sure worth knowing.
Step-1: Check The Tub Manufacturer Logo, URL, and Phone Number
Ultimate Nutrition ISO Sensation 93 tubs are manufactured by IPL Plastics.
Their logo will be at the tub’s top, side, and bottom portion.
Their phone number will be at the top of the tub, and their URL will be at the bottom.
Please note that Ultimate Nutrition tubs are manufactured by IPL Plastics in Canada. The phrase “MADE IN CANDA” will be mentioned at the top of the tub.
All the above details will be embossed on the tub.
If your tub is missing these details, it’s most likely fake.
Step-2: Check The Tub Model Number and Product Code
You can find the tub’s model number and product code at the base. You can also cross-check it by visiting here.
Following are the details for 5lbs ISO Sensation 93 Tub:
- Model: 2048
- Product Code: 61995
If these details are different or missing, your tub is most likely fake.
Step-3: Check The Tub Width, Height, and Capacity
You can measure the height and width of your ISO Sensation 93 tub with a measuring tape.
ISO Sensation 93 tubs have a width of 10.125 inches and a height of 10.06 inches. You can verify it here.
The capacity of an ISO Sensation 93 5lbs tub is 2 GAL (8 L). You can find this detail at the bottom portion of your tub.
If the capacity details are missing or your tub has a very different width or height, your tub might be fake.
Step-4: Check The Seal Instruction
The instruction to open the seal of your ISO Sensation 93 tub will be present in both English (Press) and French (Pressez) Language. Two downward pointing arrows will also surround it.
If this instruction is missing on the seal, your tub might be fake.
Step-5: Check For Ultimate Nutrition, GMP, FDA Inspection Logo
The following logos will be present at the bottom right portion of your ISO Sensation 93 tub’s label:
- Ultimate Nutrition Logo
- Certified GMP Facility
- Inspected FDA Facility
Your tub might be fake if these logos are missing.
Step-6: Check The Scoop
Ultimate Nutrition ISO Sensation 93 scoops are manufactured by National Measures.
You can find the manufacturer info and the scoop size (70cc) on the inside of the scoop.
It will also have a recycle triangle with the digit 5 mentioned inside. This triangle indicates that it’s made up of a plastic called polypropylene.
Your tub might be fake if it has a different or missing scoop.
Fake ISO Sensation 93 Tub Examples
In the above example, you can see that the powder is sticking to the walls of the tub. Original jars will never have powder sticking to the wall. This clearly shows that the ISO Sensation 93 tub is fake.
In the above example, extremely low-quality ink has been used to print the lot number, manufacturing, and expiry dates. Also, the expiry date is 2years apart from the manufacturing date, which indicates that this ISO Sensation 93 tub is fake.
Bright commodities stopped importing Ultimate Nutrition a long time back. If you scratch the code, it won’t verify online. Sometimes the scratch portion can also be fake, and you won’t be able to scratch it. Beware of such importer tags as they are widespread on fake ISO Sensation 93 tubs.
In the above example, the phrase “Delhi-110005, INDIA” is mentioned twice, clearly showing that this ISO Sensation 93 tub is fake.
A few months ago, Muscle House India announced that they have stopped importing Ultimate Nutrition products. This announcement was made because fake ISO Sensation 93 products flooded the market.
