| dc.description | Severe acute malnutrition is a serious and debilitating condition that contributes to an estimated one to two million child deaths every year. Lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) and ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) are fortified foods designed to prevent and treat malnutrition in children. LNS and RUTF are delivered by humanitarian organizations as part of nutritional programmes to treat malnutrition or severe wasting in children over a specified period of time. They are often produced locally in regions experiencing food insecurity. This brief summarizes the key messages of the FAO report "Food safety in the context of limited food availability: Risk assessment of 3-MCPD and fatty acid esters in nutrient supplements and therapeutic food". | |
