Micronutrients for Food Aid

Food aid plays a key role in providing targeted nutrition to vulnerable populations. Essential vitamins, minerals, and trace elements help effectively prevent malnutrition.

Shelf-stable premixes for vulnerable groups

Food aid must be suitable for use under challenging conditions, shelf-stable, and easy to handle. Fortification solutions are therefore designed for high nutrient density, bioavailability, and robust stability. Needs-based nutrient profiles can help address regional and demographic requirements and be applied within sustainable nutrition programmes and humanitarian initiatives worldwide.

We provide solutions to technical challenges

Draw on our technical know-how to define your premix.

Interactions 

Food aid formulations often contain multiple micronutrients at high concentrations. Potential interactions are considered during premix development.

Sensory properties

Acceptance is a key factor for successful food aid implementation. Premixes are designed to align with taste, texture, and mouthfeel expectations.

Stability

Varying climate conditions and extended shelf life demand high micronutrient stability. Premixes are designed for durability and process reliability.

Quality and regulations

Premix development and production follow strict quality standards. International requirements and guidelines of relevant organizations (e.g. WFP, UNICEF) are reliably addressed.
