Our take
CleanPlate reviewFull-fat paneer made from milk solids only
Ananda Premium Paneer lists milk solids and says no preservatives are added. The pack is 200 g and the panel is printed per 100 g.
CleanPlate scores it BA3. The B for nutrition reflects 18.5 g protein and natural calcium per 100 g. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by milk solids), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (16 g per 100 g).

A closer look
Does the label add up?
Milk solids, with no percentage; the pack says no preservatives added.
Per 100 g: 309 kcal, 25 g fat of which 16 g saturated, 18.5 g protein. The panel prints no sodium, total sugar, fibre or cholesterol line, so no sodium value is credited and the score is provisional. Trans fat is declared at 1.25 g per 100 g; milk fat is the only fat, so it is treated as natural dairy trans and not counted. Atwater energy (309 kcal) matches.
Ingredients to watch
- Saturated fatConcern
16 g per 100 g, over three times the 5 g high line.
- CaloriesWorth watching
309 kcal per 100 g, about 62 kcal in a 20 g piece.
- Missing sodium lineWorth watching
The panel prints no sodium value, so the salt content cannot be checked.
- Protein and calciumFine
18.5 g protein and 485 mg calcium per 100 g, with no added sugar.
Common misconceptions
Myth: "Premium means better for you"
Here it is a fat level: 25 g of fat per 100 g and 16 g saturated, against 21 g in Mother Dairy Paneer and 13 g in Epigamia High Protein Paneer.
Myth: "No preservatives means it keeps"
Best before is fifteen days from packaging, so keep it refrigerated.
How often, and how
- Healthy adultsA few times a week
- ChildrenA few times a week
- Diabetes or prediabetesFine in moderation
Smarter ways to eat it
Grill with spices
Dry-grilled cubes avoid extra oil on a paneer that already carries 25 g of fat per 100 g.
Salt to taste
The panel prints no sodium line, so season the dish after tasting.
