Evidence of CMAM

Within a few days, the Acute Encephalitis Syndrome that has been rampant in Muzaffarpur, Bihar had claimed lives of more than 110 children in the state. This is one of its kind, but there had been various assumptions regarding the same. The intake of unripe litchis is being called as the main reason for deaths. But is it true? Or litchis just added fuel to fire.
In the year 2012-2013, a two-member team headed by virologist Dr T. Jacob John suspected, and then next year confirmed, litchi fruit contained a the toxin which was responsible for causing the hypoglycaemic encephalopathy (The Hindu, 19 June’ 2019). But the current data also shows that the unripe litchi intake did not affect the nourished or healthy children, it affected the poor malnourished children who did not have food night before which makes the blood sugar level to drop and the toxic reacts differently.
A malnourished body is unfit to fight any bacteria or virus due to the low level of immunity, the SAM children have 9-20 times more risk of dying than a non-SAM child. India houses more than half of the malnourished under 5 children across the globe. The situation in Muzaffarpur could be anywhere in the country if the number of malnourished children keep increasing every year.
Malnutrition in India is among the major causes of death of children under the age of six. The NFHS-4 data reveal the status of Malnutrition is extreme in 12 states of the country, higher than the national average of 7.5%. Many children are unable to reach their potential age, height and weight due to the lack of nutrition in their dietary requirement and some are born malnourished as the mother are suffering from lack of nutrition. Nuflower works towards diminishing this nutritional gap and providing a healthy life to the children with SAM and MAM.
Nuflower is a nutritional supplement manufacturing company that produces Ready to use therapeutic food and Ready to use supplementary food for Severe Acute Malnourished Children and Moderate Acute Malnourished Children respectively. There is a growing body of medical research which points to the positive impact Ready-To-Use Therapeutic food has on anthropometric, physiological and functional (including immunological) recovery of SAM-afflicted children. Such positive externalities are attested by the pilot studies done in various Indian states like Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Odisha, etc., with RUTF, found effective in dealing with cases of child stunting and wasting.

Nuflower Foods and Nutrition is a leading lipid-based nutrient manufacturer in India and a supplier of Supplementary and therapeutic foods across the globe. We aim to, in the most convenient and affordable manner possible, provide healthy food and nutritional alternatives for the malnourished and those afflicted by structural health & lifestyle ailments. We accomplish this by manufacturing nutritional solutions such as Ready-to-use Therapeutic foods and Ready-To-Use Supplementary foods to treat children with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) respectively.
In 2017, wasting continued to threaten the lives of an estimated 50.5 million children under 5 globally million. Around, 16.4 million of which are SAM (Severe acute malnourished) and the rest remains Moderately Acute Malnourished (MAM). India house a number more than 9 million of the SAM children as per UNICEF estimates. This needs a serious intervention considering the SAM children in India are majorly form the socially and economically challenged background. The Treatment of SAM and MAM could be done with a facility-based approach and Community-based approach, considering the number of SAM & MAM children are very high the facility-based approach has some restrictions. Community-based treatment called Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) is the widely accepted approach. In the least complex words, CMAM approach is practised at the community level and at home with the help of community workers. The uncomplicated SAM children are provided energy-dense nutritional paste apart from their regular meals to fill in the gaps of nutrition. These pastes are energy-dense peanut-based pastesuited for a recovery of SAM children.
Currently, we make peanut-based therapeutic pastes and supplementary pastes for severely and moderately acute malnourished children. Our products are designed to meet the specifications mandated by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Such specifications have gained credibility through their use, in decades of treatment of malnutrition in Asian and African countries, by UNICEF, World Food Programme (WFP) and similar organisations.
We have a UNICEF Supply Division GMP-accredited manufacturing facility in Manesar, Haryana (India)- which can cater to more than 2,50,000 acutely malnourished children every year with a capacity of 5400 MT per annum. We are assisting private and public health programs with nutritional requirements in India and abroad.

Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods (RUTF) is getting increasingly accepted as a cost-effective panacea to deal with the global menace of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM), which impacts around 20 million children under age five worldwide. RUTF is now being considered as an alternative course of treatment for SAM-afflicted children who do not need major medical interventions. Local RUTF formulations (prepared from locally available produce) and their benefits have resultantly occupied mainstream discussions on their extent of positive impact on children’s overall growth and development. This has prompted all major stakeholders, including governments the world over, to come together and organise an accessible model of providing peanut and non-peanut based RUTF to rehabilitate severely malnourished children.

Why non-peanut based RUTF

Though peanut-based RUTF recipes have occupied much of mainstream scrutiny and discussion, non-peanut recipes have started gaining traction, given the unavailability of certain ingredients and unaffordable pricing to make peanut-based recipes in some settings. This has made it necessary for stakeholders to explore alternatives to peanut-based RUTF formulations to overcome limitations imposed by scarcity and consequent expensive peanut-based RUTF preparations. With hardly 15% of children in need of RUTF actually having access to it, the demand-supply gap in this arena is huge and needs to be filled at a rapid pace to prevent an impending catastrophe. In addition to mass-scale production of existing RUTFs, this requires identification of alternative sources of non-peanut based RUTF which hold immense nutrient promise. These recipes have the potential for bringing about a revolutionary impact for treating scores of children suffering from uncomplicated SAM and are an integral part of Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM).

*Positive Cost-Benefit analysis for adopting non-peanut recipes *

The over-reliance of developing and under-developed nations on imported ingredients to produce peanut-butter based RUTF make them prone to external shocks. In such an outlook, it is always a better option to prepare and distribute locally prepared non-peanut RUTF. Home-based therapy initiated by non-peanut based RUTF provide vital nutrients for the treatment of a SAM child and als0 achieves the target for his/her nutrient intake. Lipid-based nutrient supplements manufactured by Nuflower Foods, a UNICEF accredited RUTF manufacturer comes to their aid. We provide affordable and convenient RUTF and Ready-to-Use Supplementary Food (RUSF) solutions for severe and moderate acute malnourished (MAM) children.

Cost becomes a critical factor for choosing RUTF options when it comes to countries falling in the category of low economic growth. A sustainable economic model would be to develop cheap, yet effective RUTF using locally available ingredients, which can then be used as an energy-dense food, rather than relying on imported processed foods. This, in turn, creates a sustainable food source to children, in addition to breastfeeding and other infant child-care activities. This is an efficacious and clinically proven way to eliminate avenues for any further escalations. Oilseeds and cereals like oats are a micronutrient-rich alternative to peanut RUTF and are usually resistant to contamination by microorganisms. Aflatoxin infected peanuts are an additional danger, which necessitates strict quality control mechanisms. Peanuts have also been found to be allergic and contain high phytate-zinc ratio. Cereal, legume and oil-based RUTF are thus to be seen as the frontrunner in dealing with SAM and MAM in a cost-effective, accessible and sustainable manner.

RUTF is for treatment of Severe Acute Malnourished (SAM) children and RUSF is food for treatment of Moderate Acute Malnourished (MAM) children via CMAM model
