What to know about Sid's Farm Natural Malai Paneer
Three-ingredient paneer, rich in protein and saturated fat
Sid's Farm Natural Malai Paneer is a 200 g pack of fresh paneer made from pasteurized milk, curd and lemon juice concentrate. It is bought by people who want a simple dairy protein for curries, grills and snacks, and the front of the pack stresses that nothing else goes in. No percentages are declared for the three ingredients.
A 100 g serving, half the pack, gives 329.5 kcal, 20 g protein, 5.6 g carbohydrate and 25.2 g fat. It also brings 750 mg calcium and only 30 mg sodium. The cost is on the fat side: saturated fat is 19 g per 100 g and cholesterol is 67 mg.
The name says malai, which suggests a creamy, rich paneer, and the numbers agree on richness even though no cream is listed. The ingredient list itself is as plain as a paneer can be, with no additives and no preservative. CleanPlate scores it BA3.
Why Sid's Farm Natural Malai Paneer scores BA3
Nutrition is a B on 20 g protein and 750 mg calcium per 100 g. Ingredients are an A with only milk, curd and lemon juice, and risk is a 3 on 19 g saturated fat.

01 Nutrition density: why B
Protein is 20 g per 100 g, mostly from the milk itself, and calcium is 750 mg per 100 g, which the pack prints as 75% of the daily allowance per serving. Together they earn the B.
Fibre is not declared, as expected for a dairy food, and calcium is the only micronutrient on the panel.
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 three items: pasteurized milk, curd and lemon juice concentrate. There are no additives, no preservative and no flavouring, so nothing costs ingredient points.
No label promise is hollow, so there is no [L]. The only gap is that no percentages are declared for the three ingredients.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk

- Sodium

- Saturated fat
- 19 g
- Trans fat
- 0.6 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Saturated fat drives the risk: 19 g per 100 g, almost four times the 5 g high line, and it makes up most of the risk number. Energy at 329.5 kcal per 100 g adds a smaller part.
Sodium is only 30 mg per 100 g and added sugar is 0 g. Because lemon juice concentrate is listed, the 1.9 g of sugar is counted as free sugar, which adds only a little. Trans fat is declared at 0.6 g, and with no hydrogenated fat listed, that figure is accepted as it is.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
