What to know about Mother Dairy Mishti Doi
A clean-label sweet curd with 22.5 g added sugar
Mother Dairy Mishti Doi is an 80 g cup of sweetened curd in the style of the Bengali dessert. The list is five items: milk, sugar, milk solids, active lactic culture and caramel colour (150a). The pack calls it flavoured curd (dahi) made from pasteurised full cream milk. It is bought as a ready-made sweet that needs no cooking.
One 80 g cup gives 143 kcal, 3.4 g protein, 4.8 g fat and 155 mg calcium. The cost is sugar: 27 g total sugar per 100 g, of which 22.5 g is added, so a cup has 18 g added sugar. Saturated fat is 4.2 g per 100 g, 3.4 g per cup, and sodium is low at 55.9 mg per 100 g.
The name and the front-of-pack words match what is inside: sweetened curd from full cream milk, with no preservative listed. The sweetness is the point of the product, and it is also what the risk grade reflects. CleanPlate scores it CA3.
Why Mother Dairy Mishti Doi scores CA3
Nutrition is a C on modest protein and 194 mg calcium per 100 g. Ingredients are an A on a short list with one colour, and risk is a 3 because added sugar is 22.5 g per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 4.3 g per 100 g, and most of it comes from the milk and milk solids. The grade rests on the calcium: 194 mg per 100 g adds the micronutrient credit, while the core score from protein, fibre and energy density adds nothing.
No fibre is declared. Energy is 179 kcal per 100 g, or 143 kcal in one 80 g cup.
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 short and recognisable: milk, sugar, milk solids, active lactic culture and caramel colour. There is no preservative, no hydrogenated fat and no flavouring.
The only additive is 150a, plain caramel colour, which costs a small number of ingredient points. No label promise is hollow, so nothing more is lost.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 22.5 g
- Sodium
- 55.9 mg
- Saturated fat
- 4.2 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Sugar drives the risk number. Added sugar is 22.5 g per 100 g, and one cup has 18 g, which the pack prints as 36% of the daily value.
Saturated fat is 4.2 g per 100 g, under the 5 g high line, and sodium is low at 55.9 mg per 100 g. Energy adds nothing to the number.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
