What to know about Gowardhan Premium Cow Ghee
Pure milk fat, with 64 g of saturated fat
Gowardhan Premium Cow Ghee is a jar of clarified cow's milk fat. The ingredient list has one line, Milk Fat, with nothing added. The 500 ml jar holds 452.5 g and is sold to home cooks for tempering, frying and finishing dal, rotis and rice.
The panel is printed per 5 g teaspoon, with 90 servings in the jar. One teaspoon gives 45 kcal, 5 g fat, 3.2 g saturated fat, 0.2 g trans fat and 13 mg cholesterol. Per 100 g that is 900 kcal, 100 g fat, 64 g saturated fat and 260 mg cholesterol. There is no protein, carbohydrate, sugar or sodium. Vitamin A is 45 mcg per teaspoon.
The front says Pure Cow Ghee, and the list agrees: it is milk fat and nothing else. The back panel goes further, calling the saturated fat low and pointing to vitamins, and the numbers do not back the first of those. CleanPlate scores it CB4.
Why Gowardhan Premium Cow Ghee scores CB4
Nutrition is a C because the grade rests on vitamin A alone, with no protein or fibre. Ingredients are a B for a one-line list, and risk is a 4 on 64 g saturated fat and 900 kcal per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 0 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- Vitamin A
- Energy
- 900 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein, fibre and carbohydrate are all 0 g per 100 g, so the core of the grade earns nothing. What lifts it is vitamin A, 900 mcg per 100 g, which is 45 mcg in one 5 g teaspoon.
No other vitamins or minerals are declared, and the pack says itself that fibre, sugars, vitamin C, calcium and iron are not significant.
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 one ingredient, Milk Fat. There are no additives, no sweeteners and no flavourings, so nothing costs ingredient points.
No hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared trans fat is accepted as it is. No label promise is hollow enough to cost points, so the front and name claims leave this grade intact.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Total sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 0 mg
- Saturated fat
- 64 g
- Trans fat
- 4 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Energy and saturated fat drive the risk number. Energy is 900 kcal per 100 g, and saturated fat is 64 g per 100 g, more than twelve times the 5 g high line. One teaspoon has 3.2 g.
Sodium and sugar are 0 g, so they play no part. Trans fat is declared at 4 g per 100 g, 0.2 g per teaspoon, and because no hydrogenated fat is listed it does not add to the number.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
Red flags
- −Red flag: High saturated fat (64g)

Does Gowardhan Premium Cow Ghee live up to its claims?
