Why Royal Rasgulla scores EC4

How we score →

01 Nutrition densityA to E

Very low nutrient density

Protein: 0.7 g
Fibre: Not declared
Vitamins and minerals: None declared
Energy: 200 kcal

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 0.7 g per 100 g, mostly from the chhana at 4.3% of the pack. Fat is 0.4 g, fibre is nil, and no vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade.

Energy is 199.6 kcal per 100 g, and nearly all of it comes from sugar.

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 integrityA to E

Mixed processing and additives

Base: Sugar Syrup
Sweeteners: Sugar Syrup
Additives: 0
Flagged: None

02 Ingredient integrity: why C

The list is three items: sugar syrup, chhana and rose water. No additive, colour, preservative or hydrogenated fat is listed, and trans fat is declared as 0 g.

What holds the grade at a middle level is the make-up: the syrup is 95.2% of the pack and the milk cheese 4.3%, with no declared share for rose water. The label makes no hollow promise, so nothing costs ingredient points on that count.

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

03 Load risk1 to 5

High risk

Added sugar: 47.9 g
Sodium: 35 mg
Saturated fat: 0.2 g
Trans fat: 0 g

03 Load risk: why 4

Sugar is the whole story: 47.9 g of added sugar per 100 g, about 30 g in one 62.5 g serve. It accounts for nearly all of the risk number.

Saturated fat is 0.2 g and sodium is 35 mg per 100 g, so they add almost nothing. Trans fat is 0 g.

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

How we rate additives →

3 ingredients listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research.

The ingredient list, read for you

Sugar syrup comes first at 95.2%, so the tin is mostly syrup. Chhana, a fresh milk cheese, follows at 4.3% and forms the soft balls, and rose water gives the fragrance. No additive is listed.

Ingredients to watch

Added sugarConcern
47.9 g per 100 g, about 30 g in one 62.5 g serve, and it drives the risk number.
Sugar syrup shareConcern
Syrup is 95.2% of the pack, so there is very little cheese for the sugar you take.
Low proteinWorth watching
0.7 g per 100 g, because chhana is only 4.3% of the pack. It is not a protein food.
No additivesFine
The list is sugar syrup, chhana and rose water, with no colour, preservative or hydrogenated fat.
Fat and sodiumFine
Saturated fat is 0.2 g and sodium is 35 mg per 100 g.

What to know about Royal Rasgulla

Milk cheese balls in 95% sugar syrup

Royal Rasgulla from Bikano is a ready-to-eat Indian sweet: chhana (milk cheese) balls dipped in sugar syrup, with a little rose water. The label declares sugar syrup at 95.2% and chhana at 4.3%. It is sold in a 1 kg tin for festivals, gifts and family gatherings, served chilled.

A 62.5 g serve, one of 16 in the tin, has about 30 g of added sugar. Per 100 g it is 199.6 kcal, 47.9 g added sugar, 0.7 g protein, 0.4 g fat and 35 mg sodium. There is no fibre and no vitamin or mineral is declared. Almost all of the energy is sugar.

The pack describes exactly what is inside: chhana balls in sugar syrup, with no additive, no hydrogenated fat and no colour listed. What it does not offer is nutrition beyond sugar, because the syrup far outweighs the cheese. CleanPlate scores it EC4.

A tin of rasgulla is mostly the liquid it floats in, so the sweetness comes before anything else. That is what the sweet is, and the label is honest about it: three ingredients, no additives, and a short shelf of claims. It is a dessert for a celebration, not a source of protein.

One serve gives about 30 g of added sugar for under 1 g of protein, so keep it to an occasional piece or two. The pack itself suggests removing some syrup and topping up with lukewarm water, which makes the sweet less sugary and the balls spongier. Draining the syrup before eating is the simplest way to take less sugar.

No other sweet clearly beats it on the numbers without a change in kind, so the real trade-off is simple: you get a light, milky, simple-ingredient mithai, and you pay for it in sugar. Once the tin is open, it should be eaten within 24 hours.
