Our take

CleanPlate review

Organic malai paneer, 20 g protein, high saturated fat

Akshayakalpa Organic Malai Paneer is a 200 g organic block made from organic milk solids and cow milk curd. The pack panel is printed per 100 g and used as printed.

CleanPlate scores it CA3. The C for nutrition is middling: 20 g protein per 100 g. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by organic milk solids), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (17.6 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • On the pack

    “40g PROTEIN”

    Partly true

    The protein is 20 g per 100 g, so the 40 g claim is per block or per serving only.

    “No Vinegar”

    Holds

    No vinegar is listed, which matches the pack.

  • On the pack

    “No Preservatives”

    Holds

    “Certified Organic”

    Partly true

    Organic certification is shown on the pack, but the licence number was not legible on the images.
