What to know about Verka Cow Ghee
Pure cow milk fat, so every spoon counts
Verka Cow Ghee is a 1 litre pack of ghee with a single ingredient on the label: cow milk fat. It is bought as an everyday cooking fat for frying, tempering and sweets, and for its rich aroma and traditional granular texture.
What you get is pure fat: 99.7 g total fat and 897 kcal per 100 g, with no protein, carbohydrate, sugar or sodium. The panel prints a 10 g serve, which is about 90 kcal and 6.5 g saturated fat, and the pack holds 90 such servings. The only vitamin declared is vitamin A, at 450 mcg per 100 g, about 45 mcg per serve.
The pack makes plain promises, cow ghee made from cow milk, and the ingredient list backs both. There are no additives and no trans fat declared. What costs the grade is not the label but the fat itself: 64.8 g saturated fat per 100 g. CleanPlate scores it CB4.
Why Verka Cow Ghee scores CB4
Nutrition is a C because the ghee is all fat, with only vitamin A to add credit. Ingredients are a B on a single plain ingredient, and risk is a 4 on 64.8 g saturated fat per 100 g.

- Energy
- 897 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
There is no protein, carbohydrate, sugar or fibre to score: the product is 99.7 g fat per 100 g. The only credit comes from vitamin A, declared at 450 mcg per 100 g, which lifts the grade to a C.
In one 10 g spoon that is about 45 mcg vitamin A and about 90 kcal, so the credit is real but small.
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 B
The list is one ingredient, cow milk fat. No additive, sweetener, colour or preservative is listed, and no hydrogenated fat, so the declared trans fat of 0 g is accepted.
Nothing on the pack is a hollow promise, so there is no label-integrity cost. The grade stops at B, since ghee is a rendered, concentrated fat rather than a whole food.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar

- Saturated fat
- 64.8 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat is the main driver: 64.8 g per 100 g, almost 13 times the 5 g high line. One 10 g spoon has about 6.5 g.
Energy adds to it at 897 kcal per 100 g. Sodium, sugar and trans fat are all 0 g, so they play no part, and the risk number lands on a 4.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
