Jocko Fuel Mölk Protein Shake Chocolate
At a glance
Summary
Jocko Fuel Mölk Protein Shake Chocolate scores 41/100. The cleanest RTD formula in the mainstream batch — milk protein concentrate + calcium caseinate from grass-fed dairy, no artificial sweeteners (uses monk fruit + Reb-M fermented cane sugar), no artificial colors, only 2 g sugar. Gums (locust bean, cellulose, gellan) and high oleic sunflower oil are the main processed-ingredient markers. But independent third-party lab testing (Consumer Reports, January 2024) detected 0.98 mcg lead per serving. Cadmium 1.17 mcg and arsenic 0.57 mcg also detected. Owned by Jocko Fuel (Origin USA).
Contaminants 4
Source: Consumer Reports January 2024
Lead 0.98 mcg per serving Moderate
A moderate level of lead — elevated enough to be a real sourcing concern; cleaner-tested options exist.
Independent third-party testing.
Cadmium 1.17 mcg per serving Moderate
Detected at a moderate level — a meaningful fraction of health-based exposure limits. Worth factoring in if this product is used regularly. Cadmium is an IARC Group 1 carcinogen that accumulates in the kidneys over a lifetime.
Consumer Reports January 2024 detected 1.17 mcg cadmium per serving.
Arsenic 0.57 mcg per serving Low
A low level of arsenic — present but modest; a sourcing-quality note rather than a safety concern at typical intake.
Consumer Reports January 2024 detected 0.57 mcg arsenic per serving.
Mercury not detected Not detected
Not detected — below the laboratory's detection limit. This is the strictest possible result: no measurable amount was found.
Consumer Reports January 2024 reported mercury below the lab's threshold of detection — no mercury measurable in this product.
Key ingredients 14
High Oleic Sunflower OilVery Bad
High Oleic Sunflower Oil is a refined seed oil. High-oleic varieties are higher in monounsaturated fat and lower in omega-6 than standard versions, but remain industrially processed seed oils — Scout classifies all seed oils as very_bad regardless of oleic profile.

Proprietary flavor blend; can hide dozens of synthetic aroma chemicals and phthalate carriers under FDA trade-secret rules.
See more about Natural Flavors →Sunflower LecithinBad
Sunflower-derived emulsifier — cleaner than soy lecithin but still a refined, processed additive. Scout classifies lecithin emulsifiers as bad.

Solvent base for the ready-to-drink shake.

Stevia-leaf-derived sweetener (rebaudioside). Functionally equivalent to stevia, so Scout classifies it as neutral — neither penalized nor counted as beneficial.

Plant-derived (carob seed) thickener; inert and safe at typical concentrations.

Wood-pulp-derived thickener; inert at typical concentrations but a processed-product marker.

Microcrystalline cellulose stabilizer; inert at typical concentrations.

Microbial-fermentation-derived thickener; inert and safe at typical concentrations.

Dutch-processed cocoa has reduced flavanol and antioxidant content compared to natural cocoa. Cocoa is also a known cadmium accumulator.

Complete dairy protein providing both whey and casein fractions. Higher bioavailability than any plant protein and supplies the full essential amino acid profile in a single source.
See more about Milk Protein Concentrate →Calcium CaseinateGood
Slow-digesting casein-derived protein that complements the milk protein concentrate; supports sustained amino acid release.
See more about Calcium Caseinate →Monk Fruit ExtractGood
Plant-derived zero-calorie sweetener; safer than synthetic sweeteners and pairs well with stevia to balance aftertaste.
See more about Monk Fruit Extract →Sea SaltGood
Unrefined sea salt — a minimally processed, natural source of sodium and essential trace minerals, and a legitimate whole-food seasoning. Treated as a positive ingredient.
