Low nutrient density

- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 447 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 15.4 g per 100 g, mostly from the milk solids, which is a real strength for a sweet. Against it, 42 g of total sugar and 30 g of added sugar sit in the same 100 g, and 447 kcal is a lot of energy.
No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else adds to 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 four plain items led by milk solids at 72%, then sugar, ghee and cardamom. No additive is listed and no label promise is hollow, so nothing costs ingredient points.
Sugar, ghee and cardamom carry no percentage on the pack, which keeps the list from being fully transparent.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 30 g
- Sodium
- 208 mg
- Saturated fat
- 14.5 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat drives the risk number: 14.5 g per 100 g, nearly three times the 5 g high line, and about 4.9 g in one 34 g piece. Added sugar of 30 g per 100 g is the next largest part.
Energy adds some, and sodium at 208 mg per 100 g adds little. Trans fat is declared as 0 g and no hydrogenated fat is listed.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What to know about Doodh Peda
Mostly milk, but 30 g added sugar
Anand Doodh Peda is a box of traditional milk sweets built from four things: milk solids (72%), sugar, ghee and cardamom powder. It is bought for festivals, gifting and the occasional treat, and the pack leans on a handmade, since-1988 mithai story.
Per 100 g it has 447 kcal, 15.4 g protein, 30 g added sugar and 14.5 g saturated fat. One piece, at the 34 g the pack prints, comes to about 152 kcal, 5.2 g protein, 10.2 g added sugar and 4.9 g saturated fat. Sodium is modest at 208 mg per 100 g, about 71 mg a piece.
The name and the list agree: the main ingredient is milk solids, with no additives and no preservatives. What the list cannot hide is that sugar and ghee sit behind the milk and bring the sugar and saturated fat. CleanPlate scores it DB4.
