Amul Creami Cheese Spread
Published · Last updated
A realistic serve of Amul Creami Cheese Spread (20 g serve, as printed on the pack) has 62 kcal, 1.5 g protein, 0.6 g carbohydrate, 6 g fat, 0 g added sugar and 126 mg sodium. Per 100 g it has 312 kcal, 7.5 g protein, 3 g carbohydrate, 30 g fat, 19 g saturated fat, 0 g added sugar and 630 mg sodium.
Amul Creami Cheese Spread is a soft, tub-packed processed cheese made from milk solids and cheese, meant for spreading, baking and dipping. It scores EB4: low on nutrition because protein is modest against the fat, ingredients are fairly short but carry several stabilisers, and risk is high on saturated fat. Fine in thin spreads now and then, not as an everyday topping.

Why Amul Creami Cheese Spread scores EB4
Nutrition is an E because protein is only 7.5 g per 100 g against 312 kcal, with no fibre. Ingredients are a B, held back by stabilisers, and risk is a 4 on 19 g saturated fat per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 7.5 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 312 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 7.5 g per 100 g against 312 kcal, so there is little protein for the energy, and no fibre is declared. The grade earns no credit on these numbers.
No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel, so nothing else lifts it. The listing's calcium claim has no figure behind it.
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.
Good, few concerning additives
- Base
- Milk solids
- Sweeteners
- None added
- Additives
- 9
- Flagged
- Carrageenan
02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is short: milk solids and cheese lead, then emulsifying salts, stabilisers, iodized salt and preservatives. There are no sweeteners, dyes or hydrogenated fats, and the declared trans fat of 0 g is accepted.
The costs are the stabilisers and the phosphate. Carrageenan (407) and carboxymethyl cellulose (466) cost the most ingredient points, followed by sodium phosphates (339), guar gum (412), xanthan gum (415) and mono- and diglycerides (471). The preservatives sorbic acid (200) and nisin (234) cost none. No percentages are declared, which is a small label gap.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 630 mg
- Saturated fat
- 19 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat is the main driver: 19 g per 100 g, almost four times the 5 g high line, and 3.8 g in a 20 g serve.
Sodium at 630 mg per 100 g (126 mg per serve) and energy at 312 kcal add to it. Sugar is 0 g and trans fat 0 g, so they play no part.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
Red flags
- −Red flag: High sodium (630mg per 100g)

Does Amul Creami Cheese Spread live up to its claims?
The 100% pure milk line is true of the base but leaves out the additives, and the calcium claim has no number on the pack panel. No claim is a hollow promise.
- On the packBe careful
“Made from 100% Pure Milk”
The dairy base is milk solids and cheese, but the list also has emulsifying salts, four stabilisers, salt and two preservatives.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Packed with Protein and Calcium”
The retailer page says it is packed with protein and calcium, but the pack shows 7.5 g protein per 100 g, 1.5 g per serve, and no calcium figure.
- Product nameHolds
“Creami”
A soft, smooth spread built on milk solids and cheese with emulsifying salts and stabilisers, with 30 g fat per 100 g.

“Spread. Bake. Dip.”
It is positioned as a multi-use cheese spread, and the listing suggests dips with wedges, fries and paneer pakodas.
What's in Amul Creami Cheese Spread?
Milk solids and cheese lead, followed by emulsifying salts, four stabilisers, salt and two preservatives. The saturated fat and the stabilisers are what to watch.
10 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 1 low concern, 2 no concern. 3 more entries look like additives we have not researched yet.
The ingredient list, read for you
Milk solids and cheese come first, so the base is dairy, though no percentages are declared. Emulsifying salts (339, 331, 471) help the cheese melt into a smooth paste, and stabilisers (407, 412, 415, 466) thicken it and keep it from separating. Iodized salt adds flavour, and the preservatives are sorbic acid (200) and nisin (234).
What the additives do
Carrageenan (low concern): thickener and stabiliser. A seaweed-derived thickener used in dairy drinks and desserts. Food-grade carrageenan is approved, but its effect on the gut is debated. More on Carrageenan.
Sorbic Acid (no concern): stops mould and yeast. A preservative against mould and yeast, the parent of potassium sorbate. Judged together with it; no concern at normal intakes. More on Sorbic Acid.
Nisin (no concern): natural preservative. A natural preservative made by fermentation, used mainly in paneer, cheese and coconut water. No concern at normal intakes. More on Nisin.

19 g per 100 g, almost four times the 5 g high line. A 20 g serve has 3.8 g.
