Do the products being sold currently still contain the high levels of heavy metals?

There's a 1 star review from this year (2019) of their Sport version that said it tested high in heavy metals: https://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Organic-Plant-Based-Protein/product-reviews/B01N7DTD98/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_viewopt_srt?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&reviewerType=all_reviews&sortBy=recent&pageNumber=1#reviews-filter-bar I don't trust Garden of Life brand anymore after Nestle bought it. Not only are the ingredients suspect, there's a lot less volume of powder in the canister than there used to be - total ripoff, and shows no respect for the customer. Read the critical reviews. Nestle destroyed what was once a great brand.

Is this protein cold processed? Would assume so if it is RAW but want to make sure, and also ensure there is no acid-processing.

I hope this helps..."RAW matters because heat can denature proteins, reducing their availability to your body. But Garden of Life’s Certified Organic plant proteins are different—always gently produced at low temperatures, without any added fillers or carriers, preserving their complete amino acid integrity and whole-food, Certified Organic, Non-GMO goodness".

what countries are these ingredients sourced from? Is China one of them?

It is not clear where their ingredients are sourced from but according to their website, they set a great standard for testing all products for pathogens, microbes, metals, etc. http://www.gardenoflife.com/Our-Company/Good-Manufacturing-Practices.aspx If this link doesn't show up, you can find this information on their website about all the things they test for. I would not be concerned if anything came from China with the extensive testing they do. They once recalled a multivitaming because it came in contact with a soy protein and those sensitive to soy could have had a reaction. I would say that was a pretty good concern and they tackled it. Compared to other companies out there, I wouldn't hesitate to use GOL. Why don't you call them and ask?

I ordered the Vanilla flavored powder, it has a really strong "Play-Doh" type taste and smell. Could this be a bad batch?

I have one of their other products, Organic Plant Protein Grain Free. The vanilla it horrible. I just opened and smelled it, YES, a Play-Doh smell. I tried to add it to my waffle mix, from scratch, and I could not stand the waffles. I will try the unflavored since I want to add it to food.
