What to know about Akshayakalpa Organic Probiotic Spiced Salted Buttermilk
A light spiced buttermilk where salt is the watch-out
A 180 ml carton of spiced buttermilk built from water, organic pasteurised cow milk solids, a juice of green chilli, ginger and coriander, Himalayan pink salt and an active culture. It is bought as a chilled, on-the-go thirst-quencher by people who want a savoury drink that carries live cultures. The label declares no ingredient percentages.
A carton is the single serve and gives 48 kcal, 2.4 g protein, 4.7 g sugar (none of it added) and 2.2 g fat, of which 1.6 g is saturated. The cost is on the salt side: 248 mg sodium per 100 ml, which is 447 mg in one carton. The pack states at least 10^8 CFU of viable organisms per serve, from Bifidobacterium bifidum-12 and Lactobacillus acidophilus-5.
The pack promises organic, probiotic and spiced, and the list backs each of those up with no additives and no sweetener. What it does not offer is much protein or any declared vitamins and minerals, because most of the drink is water. CleanPlate scores it EA2.
Why Akshayakalpa Organic Probiotic Spiced Salted Buttermilk scores EA2
Nutrition is an E because the drink is mostly water with 1.31 g protein per 100 ml and no declared vitamins. Ingredients are an A for a short additive-free list, and risk is a 2, driven mainly by 248 mg sodium per 100 ml.

01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 1.31 g per 100 ml and energy is 26.7 kcal, so a carton gives 2.4 g protein and 48 kcal. That is too little to earn credit on this axis, since the drink is mostly water.
No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else lifts the grade.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

The label does not declare percentages for any ingredient, but the claims on the pack are all supported by the list.

03 Load risk: why 2
Sodium drives the risk grade: 248 mg per 100 ml, 447 mg in one carton. Saturated fat adds a smaller part at 0.87 g per 100 ml, or 1.6 g per carton.
Added sugar is 0 g, trans fat is 0 g and energy is low, so none of those add to the risk number.
