Plumpy'Nut is a peanut-based paste, packaged in a plastic wrapper, for treatment of severe acute malnutrition. Plumpy'Nut is manufactured by Nutriset, a French company.[4][5] Feeding with the 92-gram (3+1⁄4 oz) packets of this paste reduces the need for hospitalization. It can be administered at home, allowing more people to be treated.[4]
Plumpy'Nut may be referred to in scientific literature as a Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) alongside other RUTFs such as BP100.[6]
Nutriset has been criticized by Médecins Sans Frontières for enforcing its Plumpy'nut patents.[7] Since then however, as of 2018[update] Plumpy'nut patents have expired in the US, UK and the European Union.
