Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF)

Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) is a specially designed high-calorie, nutrient-rich paste used to treat severe malnutrition in children. It is portable, does not require cooking or refrigeration, and can be given directly to children at home or in clinics. RUTF provides essential vitamins, minerals, and energy to help children recover quickly by addressing nutritional deficiencies. Its ease of use and effectiveness make it a vital tool in humanitarian aid and health programs, especially in vulnerable regions where malnutrition is widespread, saving lives and promoting healthier growth.
