What to know about Organic Mandya High Protein Paneer
26 g protein per 100 g, but not low fat
A 200 g block of paneer made from two ingredients, Desi A2 Milk and curds, with no percentages declared for either. It is sold to people who cook with paneer and want more protein from it, and the front leads with High Protein, Low Fat and 52g Protein Packed.
What you get per 100 g is 153 kcal, 26 g protein, 1 g carbohydrate and 5 g fat. Over the whole 200 g block that adds up to 52 g protein and 306 kcal. The panel does not print saturated fat, sodium or sugar, and it declares no vitamins or minerals.
The protein and the short ingredient list are real, and the pack says no citric acid or acetic acid. The Low Fat claim is the problem: 5 g of fat per 100 g is over the low-fat line, so the promise on the front is hollow. CleanPlate scores it [L]CA1.
Does Organic Mandya High Protein Paneer live up to its claims?
The protein and milk-and-curd claims hold, but Low Fat does not: 5 g fat per 100 g is over the low-fat line. The 52 g figure is for the whole 200 g pack.

01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 26 g per 100 g in 153 kcal, and it comes from the milk, which is the main contributor to the grade. Carbohydrate is 1 g and fat is 5 g.
No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein alone.
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 two items, Desi A2 Milk and curds, with no additive, no sweetener and no hydrogenated fat. That is as short and plain as a paneer list gets.
The one cost is label integrity. The Low Fat claim on the front sits against 5 g of fat per 100 g, over the low-fat line, which costs ingredient points and sets the [L].
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 1
Sugar is 0 g and no sugar ingredient is listed, and energy is 153 kcal per 100 g, so nothing pushes the risk number above 1.
Saturated fat, sodium and trans fat are not printed on the panel, so they add nothing to the number. The risk grade reflects what is declared.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
