What to know about Paavi A2 Desi Cow Paneer
Two ingredients, but 15 g saturated fat per 100 g
A 200 g block of paneer made from cow's milk solids and lime, with nothing else on the ingredient list. It is sold to cooks who want a simple dairy protein for curries, bhurji and grills, and the front of the pack leans on the cow's milk and the plain recipe. No ingredient percentages are declared.
Per 100 g you get 314 kcal, 20 g protein, 25 g fat, 4.5 g sugar and no added sugar. Calcium is 480 mg and vitamin A is 260 µg. The cost is the fat: 15 g of it is saturated, three times the 5 g high line, and the pack prints that as 34% of the daily allowance.
The name and front promise cow's milk and a plain product, and the short list backs the plain part. The milk type is a statement on the pack that the numbers cannot confirm. CleanPlate scores it AA3.

01 Nutrition density: why A
Protein is 20 g per 100 g, about a quarter of the calories, and it comes mostly from the milk solids. That earns full protein credit.
Calcium at 480 mg and vitamin A at 260 µg per 100 g add a micronutrient bonus. No fibre is declared, and none is expected in a dairy block.
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, milk solids and lime, with no additives, no sweetener and no hydrogenated fat. Nothing costs ingredient points.
No label promise is hollow, so there is no [L]. The only gap is that no ingredient percentages are declared.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Saturated fat
- 15 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Saturated fat is the main driver: 15 g per 100 g, three times the 5 g high line. Energy at 314 kcal per 100 g adds a little.
Added sugar is 0 g and trans fat is 0 g, so neither plays a part. Sodium is not declared, so it is not counted. That leaves risk at a 3.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Paavi A2 Desi Cow Paneer live up to its claims?
Nothing on the pack is hollow. The two-ingredient claim holds, while the milk type is stated but cannot be checked from the numbers, and the calcium percentage printed on the pack does not match its 480 mg.
