Ingredients (brand image and Walmart listing): whey protein blend (concentrate, isolate, hydrolysate), cocoa, natural and artificial flavors, salt, silicon dioxide, soy and/or sunflower lecithin, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, enzyme blend, potassium citrate; soy is therefore listed as a possible allergen.
