Short answer: fewer than you would think. None of the unflavoured whey isolates we checked is a single ingredient; they add sunflower lecithin or inulin. Two egg white powders sold as “100%” also list baker’s yeast and citric acid. True single-ingredient options exist in egg white, pea, collagen and beef isolate.
We make a competing product, so every fact about other brands below comes from their own store, label or Canadian retailer pages, checked on October 22, 2026. Prices are in CAD unless marked and change often.

Checked against the ingredient lists on brand sites and Canadian retailers on October 22, 2026. Collagen is not a complete protein, so it does not replace a full protein powder.
Why it matters
- Allergies and sensitivities: lecithin, yeast and gums are small amounts but matter to some people.
- Baking: pure egg white powder whips and sets like fresh whites.
- Trust: a “100%” claim should match the ingredient list.

FAQ
Is whey isolate a single ingredient?
Not in the unflavoured whey isolates we checked in Canada; each adds sunflower lecithin or inulin.
Which egg white powders are only egg white?
Canadian Protein, Julian Bakery and Rise list egg white only. No Yolking and Caneggs also list baker’s yeast and citric acid.
Is collagen a complete protein?
No. Collagen lacks tryptophan, so it does not replace egg, whey or beef as a complete protein.
