What to know about Sid's Farm Buffalo Curd
A two-ingredient curd on full-fat milk
Sid's Farm Buffalo Curd is a 400 g tub of plain curd made from milk (minimum fat 5.0%, minimum SNF 9%) and active lactic cultures. Nothing else is listed. It is bought as an everyday dairy side for rice, rotis and raita, by people who want curd without additives.
A 100 g serve, a quarter of the tub, gives 80.6 kcal, 3.5 g protein, 5.0 g fat and 136 mg calcium. Saturated fat is 3.5 g and sodium is 51 mg. Added sugar is 0 g, so the 5.4 g of sugar is what the milk brings with it. There is no fibre.
The pack promises no preservatives, and the list agrees. It also says no antibiotics and no induced hormones, which a nutrition panel cannot show. The name says buffalo, while the ingredient line says only milk. CleanPlate scores it CA1.
Why Sid's Farm Buffalo Curd scores CA1
Nutrition is a C on 3.5 g protein and 136 mg calcium per 100 g. Ingredients are an A with only milk and cultures, and risk is a 1, with 3.5 g saturated fat the largest part.

01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 3.5 g per 100 g, mostly from the milk itself, and there is no fibre. That keeps the core score low.
Calcium at 136 mg per 100 g adds a micro bonus, which lifts the grade to a C. No other vitamins or minerals are declared.
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 milk and active lactic cultures. There are no additives, no sweetener, no thickener and no preservative, so nothing costs ingredient points.
No label promise is hollow, so no points are lost for label integrity. The only gap is that no percentages are given beyond the minimum fat and solids-not-fat of the milk.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 1
Saturated fat is the largest part of the risk number: 3.5 g per 100 g against the 5 g high line. Sodium is 51 mg per 100 g, which adds little.
Added sugar is 0 g, so sugar plays no part. Trans fat is declared at 0.1 g and no hydrogenated fat is listed, so it is read as the small amount that occurs naturally in dairy fat.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Sid's Farm Buffalo Curd live up to its claims?
The no-preservatives claim holds. The antibiotic and hormone claims cannot be checked from the label, and the gut-health line comes with no culture count.
- Product nameBe careful
“Buffalo Curd”
The pack's ingredient line says milk with minimum fat 5.0%, without naming the animal. The retailer page shows pasteurised buffalo milk.
- On the packHolds
“No Preservatives”
Only milk and active lactic cultures are listed. No preservative or other additive appears.
- On the packBe careful
“No Antibiotics, No Induced Hormones”
These describe how the milk was sourced. The nutrition panel and ingredient list cannot confirm or contradict them.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Great for gut health”
Active lactic cultures are listed, but no culture count or strain is given, so the benefit cannot be sized from the label.
- Retail listingBe careful
“3.8 g protein per 100 g”
The retailer page shows 82 kcal and 3.8 g protein per 100 g. The pack shows 80.6 kcal and 3.5 g.
What's in Sid's Farm Buffalo Curd?
Milk and active lactic cultures are the whole list. The saturated fat from full-fat milk is the one number to keep in view.
The ingredient list, read for you
Milk comes first, declared with a minimum of 5.0% fat and 9% solids-not-fat, which sets how rich and thick the curd is. Active lactic cultures follow and are what turn milk into curd. Nothing else is on the list, and the pack states that it contains milk.
Ingredients to watch
- Saturated fatWorth watching
3.5 g per 100 g from full-fat milk, under the 5 g high line. A 100 g serve gives 3.5 g.
- Modest proteinWorth watching
3.5 g per 100 g, so a serve adds a little protein but is not a protein source.
- Ingredient listFine
Milk and active lactic cultures only, with no additive of any kind.
- Added sugarFine
0 g added. The 5.4 g of sugar per 100 g comes with the milk.
- Calcium and sodiumFine
136 mg calcium and 51 mg sodium per 100 g.
What it doesn’t have
- No fibre, which is expected in a dairy food.
- No culture count or named strains, despite the cultures being listed.
