Summary

Corn-soy vitamin and mineral fortified blended foods (FBFs) are primarily used for food aid, although sorghum and cowpea may be suitable alternative FBF commodities. The objective of the Micronutrient Fortified Food Aid Pilot Project (MFFAPP) Tanzania Efficacy Study is to determine whether newly formulated, extruded sorghum- and cowpea-based FBFs have equal, or better, nutritive value and acceptance compared to a traditional corn-soy blend. The effectiveness of each blend will be determined in an efficacy study of Tanzanian children under the age of 5 that are deficient, or at risk for deficiency, in iron and vitamin A.
