    IFT Webcast: Formulation and Utilization of Supplementary Foods in Developing Countries

    This webcast will discuss the formulation, production, utilization, and impact of well established Ready-To-Use Therapeutic Foods as well as novel approaches being currently investigated.

    Various forms of food aid from donations of bulk grains to formulation of nutritious blends such as corn-soy-milk have been undertaken in the last 60 years. A more recent approach is that of Ready-To-Use Therapeutic Foods for both clinical and at-home treatment. This webcast will discuss the formulation, production, utilization, and impact of well established RUTFs as well as novel approaches being currently investigated. It will inform the Food Science community of work currently being carried out principally by physicians and nutritionists.

    Webcast Objectives:

    • Learn about the need and strategies for developing therapeutic, recovery and supplementary foods for developing countries.
    • Learn how to utilize and measure these foods in developing countries such as Africa and the Caribbean.
