What to know about Visakha Dairy Paneer
Two-ingredient paneer, with 30 g fat per 100 g
Visakha Dairy Paneer is a 200 g block of fresh paneer, made from milk solids with citric acid to set the curd. No percentages are declared. It is bought for curries, bhurji and tikka by people who want a vegetarian protein that needs no preparation beyond cutting.
Per 100 g you get 354 kcal, 18 g protein, 2 g carbohydrate and no sugar. The cost is on the fat side: 30 g total fat, of which 17 g is saturated, and 20 mg cholesterol. About 270 of the 354 kcal come from fat. In a typical 50 g serve that is about 177 kcal, 9 g protein and 8.5 g saturated fat.
The pack says Paneer, and the list backs that up with nothing added except citric acid. The protein-rich line is true, but it comes packaged with a lot of milk fat. CleanPlate scores it DA3.
Why Visakha Dairy Paneer scores DA3
Nutrition is a D because fat, not protein, makes up most of the calories: 30 g fat against 18 g protein per 100 g. Ingredients are an A on a two-item list, and risk is a 3 on 17 g saturated fat.
Low nutrient density
- Protein
- 18 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 354 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 18 g per 100 g, about 20% of the calories, and it comes from milk solids. Fat is 30 g per 100 g, which gives about 270 of the 354 kcal, so the grade is held down by how energy dense and fatty the block is.
No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else lifts the grade.
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.

- Flagged
- None
02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is milk solids and citric acid, and the citric acid (330) is an additive that costs no ingredient points. No sweetener, dye, hydrogenated fat or flavouring is listed.
The pack makes no promise that the list contradicts, so nothing is lost on label integrity. No percentages are declared, but with two ingredients that matters little.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Saturated fat
- 17 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Saturated fat drives the risk grade: 17 g per 100 g, more than three times the 5 g high line. A typical 50 g serve has about 8.5 g.
Energy adds a little more at 354 kcal per 100 g. Sugar is 0 g and trans fat is declared as 0 g, so neither plays a part. No sodium figure is declared, so it could not add to the grade.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Visakha Dairy Paneer live up to its claims?

Recipes with Visakha Dairy Paneer
Paneer works in bhurji, palak paneer and grilled tikka. Pairing it with vegetables or greens spreads its 17 g saturated fat per 100 g over a bigger dish.
Paneer bhurji with vegetables
Crumble 50 g paneer into onion and tomato for about 9 g protein, and let the vegetables fill the plate.
Palak paneer
Cube the paneer into a spinach gravy, using a modest 50 g per person to keep saturated fat near 8.5 g.
Grilled paneer tikka
Skewer paneer with peppers and onion and grill with a little oil, since the block already carries 30 g fat per 100 g.
