Our take

CleanPlate review

High-protein paneer that is not low in fat

FruBon Low Fat High Protein Paneer lists one ingredient, milk solids, in a 200 g tray. The panel is printed per 100 g and the pack holds about two serves.

CleanPlate scores it [L]BA1. The B for nutrition reflects 24.5 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 [L] marks a hollow label promise: the claim "Low Fat Paneer" does not hold: fat 6.5 g is over the low-fat line. The 1 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 24 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 4.1 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

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

  • On the pack

    “Low Fat Paneer”

    Misleading

    Fat is 6.5 g per 100 g, over the 3 g low-fat line.

  • On the pack

    “High Protein Paneer”

    Holds

    24.5 g of protein per 100 g is above the 11 g high-protein line.

  • On the pack

    “49g Protein”

    Be careful

    True only if the whole 200 g tray is eaten: it is 24.5 g per 100 g serve, two serves a pack.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Milk solids, a single ingredient.

Per 100 g: 173 kcal, 6.5 g fat of which 4.1 g saturated, 4 g sugar of which 0 g added, 24.5 g protein, 24 mg sodium. Trans fat is 0.3 g per 100 g and comes from milk, so it is not counted as a risk. The panel prints no fibre line.

Ingredients to watch

  • Low-fat claimConcern

    Fat is 6.5 g per 100 g (4.1 g saturated); the front claim fails the 3 g line, which costs 4 label points.

  • ProteinFine

    24.5 g per 100 g, more than double the 11 g high line.

  • CalciumFine

    450 mg per 100 g, credited as a natural source.

  • SodiumFine

    24 mg per 100 g, very low.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "High-protein paneer is a low-calorie food"

At 173 kcal per 100 g it is moderate, and fat still supplies about a third of the calories.

Myth: "Paneer cannot fit a calorie-aware plate"

At 173 kcal per 100 g and 24.5 g of protein this one can, though the portion still matters.

Smarter ways to eat it

The pack asks you to let it reach room temperature before use.
