Plumpy'Nut has treated more than 45 million malnourished children worldwide.
Before the introduction of RUTFs (Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods), treatment relied mainly on lengthy hospital-based care that was often difficult to access for the most vulnerable populations. With Plumpy’Nut, a simple, safe, and effective solution, care was brought closer to communities and treatment made accessible to millions of children.
This innovation marked a true global revolution:
• A simple treatment that can be administered at home,
• Rapid deployment in emergencies,
• and stronger collaboration of NGOs, international agencies, health systems, and local producers through the network.
Over the years, an entire value chain has been built around Plumpy'Nut: research, agriculture, local production, nutritional expertise, humanitarian logistics, and distribution reaching even the most remote areas.
Today, Plumpy’Nut is much more than a product: it symbolizes what collaborative innovation can achieve when it is designed for the field and for the populations that need it most.
Every life counts. At Meds & Food for Kids, we are grateful to be part of such a vital network with Nutriset and its partners. Together, we will continue to save the lives of vulnerable children suffering from malnutrition.
