What to know about Nestle a+ Dahi, Thick & Creamy Cup Curd
A three-item curd with modest fat and almost no salt
Nestle a+ Dahi Thick & Creamy is a set curd sold in a 380 g cup. It is built from pasteurised toned milk (96.5%), milk solids and active culture, and nothing else. It is bought as an everyday curd to eat with rice, rotis and parathas, or to turn into raita and lassi.
Per 100 g it gives 58 kcal, 3.4 g protein, 3.0 g fat and 4.5 g carbohydrate. Saturated fat is 2.3 g, sodium is 40 mg and added sugar is 0 g. The 2.4 g of total sugar is the sugar that comes with the milk. One 90 g serve, the size the pack uses, has 52 kcal and 3.1 g protein.
The name and the pack promise a thick, creamy curd, and the list backs up a plain, milk-based product with no additives, no sweetener and no thickener. Creamy describes the texture here, not a rich fat content. CleanPlate scores it BA1.

01 Nutrition density: why B
Protein is 3.4 g per 100 g, and almost all of it comes from the pasteurised toned milk, which makes up 96.5% of the curd. That earns a core credit, and the 3.1 g in one 90 g serve is real milk protein.
A small bonus is added for the B12 and B2 that milk carries, although the panel does not declare any vitamins or minerals. There is no fibre, as expected from 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

No front-of-pack promise is hollow, so the label-integrity check finds nothing to deduct. That gives the top ingredients grade.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
