Our take

CleanPlate review

Real protein, but three label lines are missing

Doodhvale Farms Royal A2 Paneer lists one ingredient, milk. The photographed pack is 180 g (some renders say 170 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), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (15 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

On the pack
“Made from Whole Buffalo A2 Milk”
Partly true
The list says only "Milk". Nothing in the list or on the panel tests for buffalo milk or A2 protein.
On the pack
“More than 30g Protein”
Holds
18.5 g per 100 g makes about 33 g in the 180 g pack (31 g if it is 170 g); the figure is per pack, not per serving.
On the pack
“Helps in Weight Loss”
Be careful
The pack gives no study; this paneer is 289 kcal and 25 g of fat per 100 g.
On the pack
“RICH IN PROTEIN”
Holds
18.5 g per 100 g is above the 11 g high-protein line.
