Our take

CleanPlate review

Cheese onion paratha, 8 g saturated fat per 100 g

Amul Happy Treats Cheese Onion Paratha is a 500 g pack of four frozen parathas with 43% Amul cheese. The side and back panels agree and are per 100 g; the sugar is 0.4 g added.

CleanPlate scores it DA4. The D for nutrition is low: only 11.6 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The A for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by processed cheese, wheat flour and onion), and almost no additives. The 4 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (8.2 g per 100 g) and sodium (550 mg per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

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

  • On the pack

    “Made with 43% Amul Cheese”

    Holds

    Cheese is named in the list, and the 43% is taken as printed.

  • On the pack

    “Source of Protein”

    Be careful

    Protein is moderate per 100 g and high in saturated fat, so the claim is true but not a healthy protein source.

  • On the pack

    “Energy 326 kcal (20%)”

    Holds

    The energy matches the panel.

Myth: "Cheese paratha is a protein food"
