What to know about Vrindavan A2 Desi Cow Paneer
Single-ingredient paneer with calories that don't add up
Vrindavan A2 Desi Cow Paneer is a 150 g block of fresh paneer with a one-line ingredient list: strained curdled milk from forest grazed A2 desi cow milk. The back of the pack says full cream milk is curdled with lemon and/or natural vinegar. No percentage is declared, which is unremarkable for a single ingredient. It is bought as a homemade-style paneer for curries, bhurji and grills.
Per 100 g the pack prints 265 kcal, 18.3 g protein, 2.6 g fat and 47.5 mg sodium. Calcium is 127 mg, potassium 161 mg and phosphorus 101 mg. No sugar is listed. Carbohydrate and total sugar are not declared, and neither is saturated fat. A whole 150 g pack carries about 27 g protein at the printed value.
The pack promises natural paneer with no preservatives, and the ingredient list backs that up: milk, nothing added. What does not fit is the numbers. Protein and fat as printed account for far fewer calories than the 265 kcal declared, so one of the figures is probably off. CleanPlate scores it CA2.
Why Vrindavan A2 Desi Cow Paneer scores CA2
Nutrition is a C on 18.3 g protein per 100 g with little else declared. Ingredients are an A for a single milk ingredient, and risk is a 2 on 47.5 mg sodium and no sugar.
Adequate nutrient density

- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- Calcium, Potassium, Phosphorus
- Energy
- 265 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 18.3 g per 100 g, and that is the main credit. Calcium is 127 mg, potassium 161 mg and phosphorus 101 mg, but no fibre is declared.
The grade sits in the middle: protein alone, with few other nutrients on the pack, does not lift it higher.
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 one item: strained curdled milk from forest grazed A2 desi cow milk. There are no additives, no sweeteners, no added fat and no preservatives, so nothing costs ingredient points.
No label promise is hollow. The no-preservatives claim matches the list, so the label integrity score is untouched.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Sodium
- 47.5 mg
03 Load risk: why 2
Sodium is only 47.5 mg per 100 g and no sugar is listed, so those add almost nothing. Saturated fat is not printed on the pack, so it could not count.
The risk number of 2 comes from the energy floor: 265 kcal per 100 g as printed. That energy figure is the one least consistent with the rest of the panel.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
