    MSF requirements

    The 1 litre presentations became non-standard in order to optimise supply and simplify the NFOS list.

    Ready-to-use products are liquid formulations supplied as "ready-to-hang" enteral nutrition. Whenever possible, the powder form (NFOSDEAAHPFV8) is preferred because it is more cost-effective and more versatile. The powder can be used for both oral and enteral nutrition, can be reconstituted at different concentrations according to needs, and generally has a longer shelf life than ready-to-use products.
