I have ordered “ON Whey Protein, 100% Natural Whey, Chocolate Flavor” from Amazon (shipped from Amazon) and I have received the older Tub (not the new look in the picture).
What bothers me is that although the plastic cover was there and I had to cut it from around the lid, the seal under the cover was already peeled out (exists but not sticking at all).
Not sure why this happened, if Amazon should replace it for me or is it safe to use it as is, any ideas?

This review is for Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Natural Whey, Chocolate, 5. 13-Pound Tub. Once I received the product, I was very disappointed to find Stevia in the ingredients listed on the label. Stevia is an artificial sweetener (extracted from a plant). Given the description of the product, “All Natural: No artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners. “, this surprised me, especially since it is not listed in the ingredients list on the product page.
Stevia gives me a stomach ache.
Otherwise the taste is so-so, and I find that it must be mixed with a sweetened beverage to be palatable (e. g. vanilla soy milk or a frappuccino). Once mixed with a sweetened beverage the stomach-ache-iness effect is also reduced.

This product (along with every soy and whey product I’ve looked at) contains “natural flavors”. Typically this indicates an excitotoxin (i. e. one of the many types of MSG), which damages our brains. If it was really a natural flavor, they would list specifically what it is, i. e. vanilla flavoring, natural strawberry flavor, chocolate flavor, etc. Just “natural flavor” which is also in every liquid vit. /min. complex I’ve seen, means an excitotoxin is being used. Disgusting for these companies to fool the public this way.

I think these guys need to get their act together. I read the other poor review about a broken seal, figured it was an isolated incident, and then when I got mine in the mail same thing!
I unscrewed the cap and 1/2 of the seal popped off with it. I don’t how bad this is, but I’m keeping it. You can’t beat the price.
For anyone who is bothered by a broken seal, or their product being compromised by one, DON’T BUY THIS PRODUCT FROM AMAZON!
