What to know about Purabi Paneer Fresh
Single-ingredient paneer with twice as much fat as protein
Purabi Paneer Fresh is a chilled paneer sold in a 200 g pack. The ingredient list has one item, milk solids, with no percentage declared and nothing else added. It is bought for cooking at home, and the back of the pack points to festivities and social occasions.
Per 100 g the panel shows 357.4 kcal, 13.6 g protein, 15.0 g carbohydrate and 27.0 g fat. In a typical 50 g serve (our estimate, the pack prints none) that is about 179 kcal, 6.8 g protein and 13.5 g fat. The fat is roughly double the protein by weight. No sodium, saturated fat or fibre is declared.
The name says Paneer Fresh, and the list agrees: milk solids and nothing else, no additives, no added sugar. The back-of-pack line about the real goodness of paneer is general wording that the numbers neither prove nor disprove. CleanPlate scores it DA2.
Why Purabi Paneer Fresh scores DA2
Nutrition is a D because protein is only 13.6 g per 100 g against 357.4 kcal and 27.0 g fat. Ingredients are an A with milk solids alone, and risk is a 2 on energy.
Low nutrient density
- Protein
- 13.6 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 357 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 13.6 g per 100 g, about 15% of the 357.4 kcal. No fibre is declared and the protein comes entirely from milk solids, so nothing else lifts the grade.
No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel, so the grade rests on protein and energy 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 one item, milk solids. There are no additives, no added sugar, no hydrogenated fat and no promise on the pack that the list contradicts, so nothing costs ingredient points.
The only small gap is that no percentage is given for the milk solids.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
03 Load risk: why 2
Energy is what sets the number: 357.4 kcal per 100 g. Added sugar is 0 g, and the pack does not declare saturated fat, trans fat or sodium, so they add nothing to the number.
That makes the risk grade of 2 a floor set by energy alone. The 27.0 g of fat per 100 g is the figure to keep in mind when choosing a portion.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
