What to know about MilkLane Paneer
17 g protein, with 15 g saturated fat beside it
MilkLane Paneer is a 200 g block of fresh cow milk paneer. The label lists a single ingredient, milk solids, with no percentage declared. It is bought as a vegetarian protein for bhurji, curries and grills, and as a simple everyday dairy staple.
Per 100 g you get 290 kcal, 17 g protein, 22 g fat, 4.5 g carbohydrate and no added sugar. It also carries 500 mg calcium and 540 mcg vitamin A. The cost is in the fat: 15 g saturated fat per 100 g, plus 1 g trans fat and 66 mg cholesterol. A typical 50 g serve gives about 145 kcal, 8.5 g protein and 7.5 g saturated fat.
The front says made from cow milk and the back says no preservatives added, and the ingredient list backs both up with nothing but milk solids. There are no additives to mark it down. The saturated fat is what keeps the risk grade from being lower. CleanPlate scores it BA2.
Why MilkLane Paneer scores BA2
Nutrition is a B on 17 g protein, 500 mg calcium and 540 mcg vitamin A per 100 g. Ingredients are an A with milk solids only. Risk is a 2, driven by 15 g saturated fat per 100 g.
Good nutrient density

01 Nutrition density: why B
Protein is 17 g per 100 g, about 23% of the calories, and the pack shows 500 mg calcium and 540 mcg vitamin A. Those vitamins and minerals are what lift the grade, along with the protein.
No fibre is declared, which is normal for a dairy product, and the 22 g of fat per 100 g sets the energy at 290 kcal.
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 one item, milk solids, so there are no additives, no sweeteners, no flavouring and no hydrogenated fat. No label promise is hollow, so nothing costs ingredient points.
The one gap is that no percentage is given for milk solids. With a single ingredient, that does not change the picture.
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
- Saturated fat
- 15 g
- Trans fat
- 1 g
03 Load risk: why 2
Saturated fat is the only real driver: 15 g per 100 g, three times the 5 g high line. A 50 g serve has about 7.5 g.
Added sugar is 0 g, and energy adds only a little at 290 kcal per 100 g. Trans fat is declared at 1 g per 100 g, but with no hydrogenated fat listed it is accepted as declared and adds nothing to the number. Sodium is not declared, so it is not part of the grade.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does MilkLane Paneer live up to its claims?
The cow milk and no-preservatives claims hold, since the list is milk solids alone. The pure and fresh wording is true of the ingredients but says nothing about the 15 g saturated fat per 100 g.
- Be careful
“Pure, fresh”
The list is milk solids alone, so pure holds for the ingredients. It does not speak to the nutrition: 15 g saturated fat per 100 g is three times the 5 g high line.
- On the packHolds
“Made from Cow Milk”
The single ingredient is milk solids and the front names cow milk as the source. 17 g protein per 100 g agrees with that.
- On the packHolds
“No preservatives added.”
Milk solids are the only ingredient, so no preservative or other additive is listed.

Paneer works best grilled, scrambled or added to dal and vegetables, where a 50 g serve adds about 8.5 g protein without a heavy gravy on top.
Paneer bhurji with vegetables
Crumble 50 g paneer into onion, tomato and peppers for about 8.5 g protein, and use little oil so the 7.5 g saturated fat from the paneer is not added to.
Palak paneer
Spinach does the work in the gravy, so you can keep the cream light and let the paneer's 250 mg calcium per 50 g stand out.
Grilled paneer tikka
Marinate cubes in curd and spices and grill them with vegetables, so the 145 kcal per 50 g is not joined by fried-gravy fat.
