Plumpy'Nut is a peanut-based therapeutic food containing 500 calories and 13 grams of protein. It comes in a 92-gram pouch, requiring no water or refrigeration. Just a couple of servings a day can help children gain weight and recover from severe acute malnutrition. Developed by Nutriset in 1996, Plumpy'Nut has increased survival rates from under 25% to around 90%. However, due to funding cuts, this essential product is now in short supply, endangering countless lives.
Packed with calories and protein, the same magic mixture has successfully treated famine for decades—but due to funding cuts it’s now in short supply.
This life-saving mixture is Plumpy'Nut, developed in 1996 by André Briend. It is the first ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) that has greatly boosted survival rates.
