The company is sending a replacement and they don't want the powder back and suggested that I toss it out. My inner cheapness is kicking in though and wondering if there is a way to check and see if the powder is still good.
There doesn't appear to be any tampering of the shipping box either.

Sift that shit and if you don't see anything out of the ordinary I don't see a reason as to not tamper with it. Someone else made a very similar post and I think he used his, you could try messaging him if he's still alive and see how it turned out.
He seems to have had a slightly different problem in that the outer seal was still intact on his, but interestingly enough it was the same brand of protein (ON Whey). From what I can tell it looks like the main tests suggested on that thread were to sift, smell and taste.
There didn't seem to be any foreign substances/objects when I sifted through it.
It smelled like chocolate mint protein powder (which is what I ordered)
I haven't tasted it yet as I want that to be the last test I try as it has the most risk involved if there is something wrong with it.
That sounds a little sketch. How tight was the lid? If it was pretty loose I might second-guess it, but if everything checks out I would still probably use it, but that's just my frugality talking.
I wouldn't risk it. I'd just throw it out. No telling who or what has been in contact with it.
I would attempt to return it but that's just me.

Read much? :p
lmao sorry, sometimes I skim and completely miss details.
rub a little on your gums, wait for numbness.
