Our take

CleanPlate review

Clean list, but the saturated fat figure looks wrong

Rosier Malai Paneer lists desi cow milk and citric acid in one clause. The pack is 200 g and the panel is printed per 100 g, with a 50 g serve column.

CleanPlate scores it BA3. The B for nutrition reflects 18.1 g protein and natural calcium per 100 g. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by desi cow milk), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk is a floor, not a measurement: the printed saturated fat (2.65 g per 100 g) looks too low for the fat, so the grade is held at 3 until the maker confirms.

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

Product name
“Malai Paneer”
Partly true
Malai means cream. No cream is listed: the list is cow milk and citric acid, and the panel shows 15 g of fat per 100 g.
On the pack
“No Additives, Fillers or Preservatives”
Be careful
Citric acid (INS 330) is a permitted food additive; the pack itself says it is used to set the milk.
On the pack
“2.65 g saturated fat per 100 g”
Be careful
This is 18% of the 14.97 g of fat. Cow milk fat would give about 9 to 10 g, so CleanPlate keeps the risk grade at 3 and marks the score provisional.
On the pack
“100% Clean”
Be careful
"Clean" has no label definition; the list shows two items.

How BA3 breaks down

Each grade is scored on its own. Here are the label numbers behind each one, per 100 g.

How we score →

01 Nutritional valueA to E

Good nutrient density

Protein: 18.1 g
Fibre: Not declared
Vitamins and minerals: Calcium
Energy: 214 kcal

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.

02 Ingredient & label integrityA to E

Clean, minimally processed

Base: Desi Cow Milk and Citric Acid
Sweeteners: None added
Additives: 1
Flagged: None

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Risk nutrients1 to 5

Moderate risk

Added sugar: 0 g
Sodium: 26.5 mg
Saturated fat: 2.6 g
Trans fat: 0 g

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Desi cow milk and citric acid, printed as a single clause.

Per 100 g: 214 kcal, 15 g fat of which 2.65 g saturated, 0 g sugar of which 0 g added, 18.1 g protein, 26.5 mg sodium. Energy 213.65 kcal matches the Atwater sum exactly. The saturated fat figure is far below what the fat should hold, so it is not trusted and costs 2 label points.

Ingredients to watch

Saturated fat figureConcern
Printed as 2.65 g per 100 g; milk fat of this amount would normally hold about 9 to 10 g, so the risk grade is held at 3 until the maker confirms.
FatWorth watching
14.97 g per 100 g, so about 135 of the 214 kcal come from fat.
Protein and calciumFine
18.11 g of protein and 478.63 mg of calcium per 100 g.
IngredientsFine
Milk and a citric acid coagulant, nothing else.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Paneer from a farm is light on fat"

Farm sourcing does not set the fat; this pack prints 14.97 g per 100 g.

Myth: "Lab-tested means every number is right"

The pack points to lab reports by QR code, but the printed saturated fat still looks too low for the fat.
