What to know about Haribol A2 Malai Paneer

15.7 g protein and 21.8 g fat in plain paneer

Haribol A2 Malai Paneer is a 200 g pack of fresh paneer made from A2 milk solids and permitted natural coagulants, and nothing else. It is sold under an ISKCON initiative to home cooks who want a soft, creamy paneer made from desi cow's A2 milk. The list declares no percentages.

Per 100 g you get 277 kcal, 15.7 g protein, 21.8 g fat, 4.5 g carbohydrate and 302 mg calcium, with 0 g added sugar. The cost is mainly fat: it supplies most of the calories. Saturated fat, fibre and sodium are not declared on the label.

The name and front promise creamy, high-protein, calcium-rich paneer with no preservatives, and the numbers and the short list back that up. The A2 and DNA-tested claim can't be checked from the label itself. CleanPlate scores it BA2.

Why Haribol A2 Malai Paneer scores BA2

Nutrition is a B on 15.7 g protein and 302 mg calcium per 100 g. Ingredients are an A with only milk solids and coagulants. Risk is a 2, set by energy at 277 kcal per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why B

Protein is 15.7 g per 100 g, coming from the milk solids that lead the list, and it counts in full. Calcium is 302 mg per 100 g, which adds a micronutrient bonus and lifts the grade.

Fibre is not declared, which is usual for paneer, and no other vitamins or minerals are listed. The grade rests on protein and calcium.

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 A

The list is two items: A2 milk solids and permitted natural coagulants. There are no additives, no sweeteners, no refined starch and no added fat, so nothing costs ingredient points.

No percentages are declared, and the coagulants are not named, but no claim on the pack is contradicted by the list, so the label integrity score is clean.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

Low risk

Added sugar
0 g

03 Load risk: why 2

Risk is low, a 2, and it comes from energy: 277 kcal per 100 g. Added sugar is 0 g and no trans fat is listed.

Saturated fat and sodium are not declared, so they could not be counted. The grade rests on energy and sugar alone.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Haribol A2 Malai Paneer live up to its claims?

High protein, rich in calcium and no preservatives all hold on the numbers and the list. The DNA-tested A2 milk claim can't be verified from the label.

  • On the pack

    “High Protein”

    Holds

    15.7 g per 100 g, all from the milk solids, so about 15.7 g in a 100 g serve.

  • On the pack

    “Rich in Calcium”

    Holds

    302 mg calcium per 100 g, which is declared on the pack and fits a milk-based cheese.

  • On the pack

    “No Preservatives”

    Holds

    Only A2 milk solids and permitted natural coagulants are listed. No preservative or other additive appears.

  • On the pack

    “DNA-tested A2 milk”

    Be careful

    The list shows A2 milk solids, but nothing on the label lets a reader check the DNA testing or the breed of cow.

What's in Haribol A2 Malai Paneer?

Only A2 milk solids and permitted natural coagulants are listed, with no additives. What to watch is the fat, and the fact that saturated fat and sodium are not declared.

The ingredient list, read for you

A2 milk solids lead the list and are the whole body of the paneer, giving the protein, fat and calcium. Permitted natural coagulants are what set the milk into curd. They are not named and no percentages are given, but nothing else is added.

Ingredients to watch

  • FatWorth watching

    21.8 g per 100 g, which supplies most of the 277 kcal. A 100 g serve has 21.8 g before any cooking oil.

  • Saturated fat and sodium not declaredWorth watching

    Neither is printed, so the risk grade could not count them. Dairy fat is worth watching for anyone limiting saturated fat.

  • ProteinFine

    15.7 g per 100 g from milk solids.

  • CalciumFine

    302 mg per 100 g.

  • Short list, no additivesFine

    Two ingredients, no preservative, sweetener or added sugar.

What it doesn’t have

  • Saturated fat, fibre and sodium are not declared on the label.
  • No percentages are given for the ingredients, and the coagulants are not named.

Paneer cooks well in light dishes: bhurji, grilled cubes or a vegetable curry. Keep added oil and cream low, since the block already has 21.8 g fat per 100 g.

Paneer bhurji

Crumble the paneer into a pan with onion and tomato and use little oil, since the block already carries 21.8 g fat per 100 g.

Grilled paneer and vegetable skewers

Cube it with peppers and onion and grill, so the 15.7 g protein per 100 g sits with vegetables and no added cream.

Palak paneer

Add paneer to a spinach gravy and skip the cream, so the fat comes mostly from the paneer itself.
