There once was a time when treating severely malnourished children was a hopeless endeavor. Children had to stay in hospitals for weeks, and the milk powder-based formulas they needed to survive were costly and impractical. Portable, ready-to-eat, shelf-stable Plumpy’Nut® changed everything: no need to find clean water or refrigeration, hospital beds freed up as children could be treated at home and we could treat children in hard to reach communities.
