What to know about Keventer Metro Malai Paneer
Two-ingredient paneer, with saturated fat to match
Keventer Metro Malai Paneer is a 200 g pack of chilled paneer. The ingredient list is short: milk solids and permitted acidity regulators (INS 330, 575). No percentages are declared. It is bought by people who want a ready block of paneer for curries, bhurji and grills without making it at home.
Per 100 g you get 19 g protein for 281 kcal, with 21 g fat, 14 g of it saturated, 4 g total sugar (none added) and 500 mg sodium. The pack gives a 25 g serve and eight servings per pack, so one serve is about 70 kcal, 4.8 g protein, 3.5 g saturated fat and 125 mg sodium.
The front says Malai Paneer, and the list names milk solids only, with no cream called out. There is nothing hollow on the pack: no health or protein claims, only storage and shelf-life instructions. Saturated fat and sodium are what hold the risk grade at a 3. CleanPlate scores it CA3.
Why Keventer Metro Malai Paneer scores CA3
Nutrition is a C on 19 g protein per 100 g with no vitamins or minerals declared. Ingredients are an A on a two-item list, and risk is a 3 on 14 g saturated fat and 500 mg sodium per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 19 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 281 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 19 g per 100 g, about 27% of the calories, and nearly all of it comes from the milk solids. In one 25 g serve that is about 4.8 g protein for 70 kcal.
No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein alone. Energy is dense at 281 kcal per 100 g, which holds it at a C.
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: milk solids and acidity regulators INS 330 (citric acid) and 575. Percentages are not declared, but nothing on the list costs ingredient points.
No hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared 0.7 g trans fat per 100 g is accepted as it is. There is no hollow promise on the pack.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 500 mg
- Saturated fat
- 14 g
- Trans fat
- 0.7 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Saturated fat does most of the work: 14 g per 100 g against a 5 g high line. One 25 g serve has 3.5 g.
Sodium adds to it at 500 mg per 100 g, or 125 mg per serve. Trans fat of 0.7 g and energy add a little. Added sugar is 0 g, so it plays no part.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
