New hope for malnourished kids: cheaper RUTFs work just as well
NCT ID NCT06912620
First seen Feb 23, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tested two new, lower-cost recipes for ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTFs) to treat severe and moderate child wasting. Over 2,200 children in Burkina Faso received either the standard peanut-based RUTF or new versions made from soy, maize, and sorghum. The goal was to see if the new foods work as well for recovery and better at preventing relapse after treatment.
