What to know about Patanjali Mustard Oil Kachi Ghani
Pure mustard oil, with the calories to match
Patanjali Mustard Oil Kachi Ghani is a cooking oil with a very short list: mustard oil, plus added Vitamin A (25 IU per gram) and Vitamin D (4.5 IU per gram). No percentages are declared. It is bought for the sharp, traditional mustard taste and aroma in North and East Indian cooking, and the front of the pack stresses the cold-pressed kachi ghani method.
Like any oil, it is almost entirely fat: 99.8 g fat and 898 kcal per 100 g, with no protein, carbohydrate, sugar or sodium. The pack prints a 30 g serve, which is about 270 kcal and 30 g fat. Saturated fat is 5.54 g per 100 g, or about 1.7 g in that serve. Vitamin E is 32.11 mg per 100 g, and the added vitamins are 750 mcg of Vitamin A and 11.25 mcg of Vitamin D per 100 g.
The pack makes many claims about fats and vitamins. The vitamin ones can be checked against the numbers and hold; the fat-quality ones cannot, because no MUFA or omega-3 figure is printed. Nothing on the pack is hollow. CleanPlate scores it [F]CB4.
Why Patanjali Mustard Oil Kachi Ghani scores [F]CB4
Nutrition is a C only because added vitamins A and D lift it from an E. Ingredients are a B for a clean list. Risk is a 4 because the oil is 898 kcal per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density

- Vitamins and minerals
- Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin D
- Energy
- 898 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
The core nutrition score is zero: no protein, no fibre and no sugar to credit. The grade rests on the micronutrients. Vitamin E is 32.11 mg per 100 g, with 750 mcg Vitamin A and 11.25 mcg Vitamin D added.
Because Vitamin A and Vitamin D are added, the grade is flagged as fortification-driven. Without them it would be an E, and with them it is a C.
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 B
The list is mustard oil and two added vitamins. There are no additives, no hydrogenated fat and no flavouring, and no label promise is hollow, so nothing costs ingredient points.
The cold-pressed and kachi ghani claims are the maker's own and match a plain single-oil list.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar

- Sodium

- Saturated fat
- 5.5 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Energy is the biggest part of the risk grade: 898 kcal per 100 g, about 270 kcal in a 30 g serve. Saturated fat adds to it at 5.54 g per 100 g, just above the 5 g high line, or about 1.7 g per serve.
Sugar, sodium and trans fat are all 0 g, so they play no part. The 4 comes from the oil being pure fat, not from anything added.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
[F] Added vitamins or minerals meaningfully lift this product's nutrition grade. Without them it would score lower.
