Amul Milk Cake is a fudge-like Indian milk sweet made from milk solids, sugar and ghee.

Why Amul Milk Cake scores EB5

Very low nutrient density

- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 488 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
The nutrition grade earns no points. Protein is 9.7 g per 100 g, only about 8% of the 488 kcal, so the energy is carried mostly by sugar and fat. A 25 g serve gives 2.4 g protein.
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.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is short and made of recognisable foods: milk solids, sugar, ghee, liquid glucose and cardamom. There is no hydrogenated fat, dye, artificial sweetener or flavouring, and the declared trans fat of 0 g is accepted.
The two preservatives, potassium sorbate (202) and benzoic acid (210), are listed, and no ingredient percentages are given. With no hollow label promise, the grade stays at a B.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Very high risk
- Added sugar

- Sodium
- 130 mg
- Saturated fat
- 17 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 5
Saturated fat is the biggest driver: 17 g per 100 g, more than three times the 5 g high line. One 25 g serve has 4.25 g.
Added sugar of 30 g per 100 g (7.5 g a serve) and 488 kcal per 100 g push it further. Sodium at 130 mg per 100 g adds little, and trans fat is 0 g.
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 added sugar (30g per 100g)
- −Red flag: High saturated fat (17g)
Green flags
Nothing stands out in its favour.
