Nutritional Summary
The product scores well for its high protein (18g) and calcium (508mg) content per serving, and for having no added sugar. However, the grade is lowered to 'AVERAGE' due to the very high levels of saturated fat (15.6g) and trans fat (1.5g) per 100g serving, which constitute 70.9% and 75% of the recommended daily allowance, respectively. These high levels of unhealthy fats pose a significant health concern.

Additive Analysis

Marketing Claims
The 'Protein Packed' and 'No Preservatives' claims are accurate and supported by the nutritional information and ingredient list. However, the claim 'Nutritious' is questionable. While the paneer is a good source of protein and calcium, this claim overlooks the extremely high content of saturated and trans fats, which can be misleading to consumers seeking a healthy product.
