What to know about Mother Dairy Classic Cup Curd
Plain curd: four ingredients, no added sugar
Mother Dairy Classic Cup Curd is a plain dahi sold in a 400 g cup. The label lists toned milk, water, milk solids and active lactic culture, and nothing else. It is bought as an everyday staple for meals, raita and lassi.
A 100 g serve, with four to a pack, gives 62 kcal, 3.7 g protein and 168 mg calcium. Sugar is 5 g per 100 g, all of it from the milk, with 0 g added sugar. Saturated fat is 2.1 g and sodium is 47.6 mg per 100 g, so the cost in salt and fat is small.
The name promises a classic dahi, and the list delivers exactly that, with no preservative, thickener or flavour listed. The back-of-pack digestion line is the only claim that goes past what the label can show. CleanPlate scores it BA1.
Why Mother Dairy Classic Cup Curd scores BA1
Nutrition is a B on 3.7 g protein and 168 mg calcium per 100 g. Ingredients are an A on a four-item list with no additives, and risk is a 1 because saturated fat is only 2.1 g.

01 Nutrition density: why B
Protein is 3.7 g per 100 g and calcium is 168 mg, which earns a micronutrient bonus. That is what lifts the grade, since the protein density alone is modest.
Only calcium is declared on the panel. No fibre is present, which is normal for a dairy food.
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 toned milk, water, milk solids and active lactic culture. No additive, flavour, sweetener, thickener or preservative appears, so nothing costs ingredient points.
No label promise is hollow: the name says classic dahi, and the product is plain curd. That leaves the full ingredient score.

03 Load risk: why 1
Saturated fat is the largest part of the risk number at 2.1 g per 100 g, well under the 5 g high line. Sodium is 47.6 mg per 100 g and adds only a little.
Added sugar is 0 g and energy is 62 kcal per 100 g, so neither adds to risk. No trans fat is listed and no hydrogenated fat is used.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
