Which brands do you guys consider to be most trust worthy?
Mostly looking at brands for protein, but overall too.

@bwdill I've always had MyProtein as like an overall bulk protein powder, but I know a few who doubt there products because of how cheap they are. @Darkhorse192 PES is always a good choice, but I can't use their Select protein.
I think it's mainly a UK brand, but has anybody else used/trusted the USN brand?

If the company can't provide a 3rd party test or COA, then you may want to venture elsewhere. But that is totally a personal preference.

I personally am not very fond of a company who thrives off beef protein as its major source because we all know beef is very low in amino acids

Many companies have been found guilty of protein spiking in the past, so if this is the case I would steer clear unless they have a test to backup their products.
I also don't agree with Labdoor and their rankings because some of their rankings are companies who do not meet label claims

For example, companies who can sell their products under the cost of raw materials should raise a redflag, why it is always cheap, or always on a very large discount or BOGO.

As far as what is available in the UK, hard to really know. Darkhorse has a very good list of products.

PEScience
Core Nutritionals / Merica Labs / Arms Race
Nutrabio
Animal
Metabolic Nutrition
Quest
Ghost

I would also add:

Nutrex
BEAM
Beverly
Rule 1 Proteins
MuscleSport
Sparta Whey
Sinfit
Ryse

I've been trying to find information on tested brands/products, but haven't found anything on easily purchased brands over here in the UK. How would you normally find if a brand has 3rd party testing, but doesn't have the info on any of their pages?

You can get PES correct?

Right on their page
View the test results

Nutrabio for example:
shows their entire open-label, full transparency, and all the information on being free from amino spiking.

I can't take Select protein, as it hurts my stomach. If PES made an Isolate protein, it'd be a no brainer for me. And Nutrabio is very hard to find in the UK.

TheSolutions list above is pretty spot on. I might add cellcuor to the list. I've used their cor performance isolate whey and it was pretty good.

I will enforce this.
I have given out samples locally to friends and they have had no issue digesting it that normally use nothing but isolates. The same can be said with PES due to the added digestive enzyme. I would see if you can grab a sample of either and give it a whirl. Being in the UK that may not be possible.

So are NOW Foods and Optimum Nutrition out of favor these days?
