Our take
CleanPlate reviewLow-fat A2 paneer, 26 g protein, sodium not printed
Organic Mandya Low Fat Paneer is a 200 g block made from A2 milk and active culture. The panel is printed per 100 g; the pack prints no sodium line, and its energy of 153 kcal differs from the 175 kcal on the listing, so the pack is used.
CleanPlate scores it [L]CA1. The C for nutrition is middling: 26 g protein per 100 g. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by A2 milk), and almost no additives. The [L] marks a hollow label promise: the claim "Low Fat" does not hold: fat 5 g is over the low-fat line. The 1 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (free sugar 0 g and saturated fat 3 g per 100 g; sodium is not printed).
Claims vs reality
What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.
- Product nameMisleading
“Low Fat”
The panel shows 5 g fat per 100 g, above the 3 g line for a low-fat claim, though much lower than regular paneer.
- On the packPartly true
“56g PROtein”
The panel shows 26 g protein per 100 g, so a 200 g block carries about 52 g, not 56 g.
- On the packBe careful
“45% LESS CALORIES”
The pack does not say what it is compared with.
- On the packHolds
“NO CITRIC OR ACETIC ACID USED”
The list is A2 milk and active culture only.

Ingredients to watch
- Low-fat claimWorth watching
5 g fat per 100 g is much lower than regular paneer but above the 3 g low-fat line.
- SodiumWorth watching
Not printed on the pack, so it cannot be checked.
- ProteinFine
26 g per 100 g.
Common misconceptions
Myth: "Low fat means almost no fat"
CleanPlate treats low fat as 3 g per 100 g or less; this has 5 g.
Myth: "A2 milk is healthier"
The panel does not show a benefit from A2 milk; the protein and fat are what matter here.

Smarter ways to eat it
Use it in curries
It holds its shape and cuts the fat compared with full-fat paneer.
Check the sodium
Pair it with unsalted ingredients because the pack gives no sodium figure.
