Published · Updated
Gits Mini Rasgulla is a ready-to-eat Indian sweet of small milk-based dumplings in sugar syrup.

What to know about Mini Rasgulla
Three clean ingredients, mostly sugar syrup
Gits Mini Rasgulla is a 200 g tin of bite-size rasgulla sold ready to eat. The list is short: sugar, water and milk solids (12%). It is bought as a festival or gifting sweet by people who want a halwai-style mithai without making it at home.
Per 100 g the tin gives 231 kcal, 3 g protein, 3 g fat, 2 g saturated fat and 44.5 g sugar, all of it added. One serve is 40 g, or four pieces, which works out to about 92 kcal and 18 g sugar. The tin holds two such serves, so the whole tin carries about 89 g of sugar.
The pack promises no added preservatives, colours or flavours, and the list agrees: there are no additives at all. What it does not say is how little of the tin is milk, at 12%, against sugar and water. CleanPlate scores it EB4.
Why Mini Rasgulla scores EB4
Nutrition is an E because the tin is mostly sugar with only 3 g protein per 100 g. Ingredients are a B on a three-item list with no additives. Risk is a 4 on 44.5 g sugar per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density

- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 231 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 3 g per 100 g, mostly from the milk solids, and one 40 g serve gives about 1 g. Carbohydrate is 48 g per 100 g and 44.5 g of that is sugar, so the energy comes almost entirely from syrup.
No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else adds to the grade.
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 sugar, water and milk solids (12%). There are no additives, no flavours, no colours and no hydrogenated fat, so nothing costs ingredient points.
The milk percentage is declared and the front-of-pack claims agree with the list, so label integrity is clean. The base is still mostly sugar.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 44.5 g
- Sodium
- 30 mg
- Saturated fat
- 2 g
- Trans fat
- 0.03 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sugar drives the risk number almost on its own: 44.5 g per 100 g, all added, and about 18 g in one serve.
Saturated fat is 2 g per 100 g and sodium is 30 mg, so both add little. Trans fat is declared at 0.03 g and no hydrogenated fat is listed, so it is accepted as printed.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

“NO Added Colors/Flavors”
No colour or flavour appears in the list, which has just three items.
- On the packBe careful
“Made with unadulterated Chenna”

The ingredient list, read for you
Sugar comes first, then water, then milk solids at 12%. So the tin is mostly syrup, with the milk-based rasgulla making up a small share. The sugar and water form the syrup, and the milk solids form the dumplings.
Ingredients to watch
- Added sugarConcern
44.5 g per 100 g, all added. One 40 g serve has about 18 g, which the pack prints as 36% of the daily value.

2 g saturated fat and 30 mg sodium per 100 g, both low.
