What to know about Baker's Loaf Zero Maida Pav
A whole wheat pav with sodium as its catch
Baker's Loaf Zero Maida Pav is a packaged bread bun made from whole wheat flour (atta, 62.87% of the bun), sugar, yeast, added gluten, refined soyabean oil, iodized salt, fermented wheat flour, brewed vinegar, malt product, cultured sugar and milk solids. It is bought by people who want pav for bhaji or snacks without refined white flour.
A 50 g serve gives about 120 kcal, 4.7 g protein and 2.7 g fibre, and a 300 g pack holds about 6 serves. Per 100 g the bun has 9.3 g protein, 5.48 g fibre, 0.62 g fat and 3.58 g added sugar. The cost is sodium: 472.61 mg per 100 g, about 236 mg per serve.
The pack promises no maida, no palm oil and no added colour, and the list agrees: none of the three is there. The front of the pack reads Whole Wheat Bombay Pav, while the product name says Zero Maida, so the same bun carries two names. CleanPlate scores it CA2.
Why Baker's Loaf Zero Maida Pav scores CA2
Nutrition is a C on 9.3 g protein and 5.48 g fibre per 100 g, mostly from wheat. Ingredients are an A with no additives of concern, and risk is a 2, driven mainly by 472.61 mg sodium per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 9.3 g
- Fibre
- 5.5 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 240 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 9.3 g per 100 g and fibre is 5.48 g. Most of the protein comes from the whole wheat flour, and wheat protein is counted at a reduced weight, so the grade stops at a C.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing adds to the grade beyond protein and fibre. Energy is 240.24 kcal per 100 g, about 120 kcal per 50 g serve.
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 A
The list is short and mostly plain: whole wheat flour, sugar, yeast, gluten, refined soyabean oil, salt, vinegar and malt. No additive of concern is listed, so nothing costs ingredient points.
No hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared trans fat is accepted. No claim on the pack is contradicted by the list, so there is no label penalty.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Added sugar
- 3.6 g
- Sodium
- 472.6 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0.3 g
- Trans fat
- 0.05 g
03 Load risk: why 2
Sodium is the main driver: 472.61 mg per 100 g, about 236 mg per 50 g serve. It makes up most of the risk number, which lands on a 2.
Added sugar is 3.58 g per 100 g, and saturated fat is 0.3 g per 100 g, so both add little. Trans fat is 0.05 g per 100 g. Energy does not add to the risk.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
