What to know about Milkfood Rich Desi Ghee
Single-ingredient ghee with 65 g saturated fat per 100 g
Milkfood Rich Desi Ghee is clarified milk fat in a 900 ml (808 g) jar. The ingredient list reads Milk Fat and nothing else, and the allergen line says it contains milk solids. It is bought as an everyday cooking fat and as a finishing spoonful on rice, dal and rotis.
Per 100 g it has 897 kcal, 99.7 g fat and 65.1 g saturated fat, with 210 mg cholesterol. The panel prints 0 g for protein, carbohydrate, sugar, fibre and sodium. The pack serve is two teaspoons (8.9 g), which gives 80 kcal, 8.9 g fat and 5.8 g saturated fat.
The front says Rich Desi Ghee and the side says Natural Ghee, and a one-item list backs both. What the pack does not change is the nature of the food: it is almost entirely fat, and a large share of that is saturated. CleanPlate scores it EB4.
Why Milkfood Rich Desi Ghee scores EB4
Nutrition is an E because the panel shows no protein, fibre or counted vitamins. Ingredients are a B on a one-item list with no additives, and risk is a 4 on 65.1 g saturated fat and 897 kcal per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density

- Fibre

- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 897 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein, carbohydrate, sugar, fibre and sodium are all printed as 0 g per 100 g, so the nutrition grade has nothing to build on. The food is 99.7 g fat per 100 g, and that fat earns no credit on its own.
A vitamin A range is printed on the side of the pack, but as a range rather than one figure it is not counted. No other vitamins or minerals are declared.
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 a single item, milk fat. There are no additives, no sweetener, no flavouring and no preservative, so nothing costs ingredient points.
No hollow label promise was found: the names and claims on the pack agree with a one-item list. No hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared trans fat is taken as printed.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Total sugar

- Sodium
- 0 mg
- Saturated fat
- 65.1 g
- Trans fat
- 1.9 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat is 65.1 g per 100 g, about 13 times the 5 g high line, and energy is 897 kcal per 100 g. Energy is the largest part of the risk number and saturated fat the next.
Trans fat is declared at 1.9 g per 100 g, and sugar and sodium are 0 g, so they add nothing. One serve of two teaspoons has 80 kcal and 5.8 g saturated fat.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
