READY-TO-USE THERAPEUTIC FOOD, peanut paste

Definition

Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) in paste form is designed for children from 6 months and adults, who are in the rehabilitation phase of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in therapeutic feeding centres or outpatient settings.

Due to its iron content, RUTF should not be used in the initial phase of treatment of severe acute malnutrition.

The nutritional properties of RUTF are similar to those of therapeutic milk, except for its higher iron content.

Examples: Plumpy'nut, eeZeepaste, Imunut, Valid Nutrition, Dutasi, Nutty Butta...
