What is Plumpy'Nut?

Plumpy’Nut is the brand name for a type of ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) that Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams use in our nutrition programs around the world. Our staff will typically give a severely malnourished child packets of RUTF every day for several weeks to help them get healthy again. Plumpy’Nut ingredients are fortified peanut butter, milk, sugar, vitamins, and minerals.
