Our take
CleanPlate reviewMedium-fat paneer with 25 g protein per 100 g
Epigamia High Protein Paneer lists milk and citric acid. The pack is 200 g and the panel is printed per 100 g, with a 100 g serve (two per pack); the pack says medium fat paneer with 13% milk fat.
CleanPlate scores it BA2. The B for nutrition reflects 25 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 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 24 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 8.4 g per 100 g).

“high calcium”
500 mg per 100 g is above the 300 mg line for a calcium-rich claim.
