Our take
CleanPlate reviewCondensed milk that is 43% added sugar
Amul Sweetened Condensed Milk Classic is sugar and milk solids, nothing else.
CleanPlate scores it CB4. The C for nutrition is middling: some calcium per 100 g; its 8 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The B for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by sugar and milk solids), and almost no additives. The 4 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (43 g per 100 g) and sodium (110 mg per 100 g).
