Undernutrition is responsible for around 45% of fatalities among the Under 5 children group as a result of rising rates of malnutrition throughout the world. The rising concern of international communities to combat the menace by available options is what boosts the demand for ready-to-use therapeutic food internationally. Earlier, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published that 96% of kids who received RUTF treatment were visibly nourished within a year.

Interestingly enough, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic was drastic across the developing and underdeveloped worlds that benefitted the market after a short while. It was apprehended that severely malnourished children were at a dangerously high risk of contracting the novel coronavirus due to weakened immunity. So considerable efforts were made for the provisioning of ready-to-eat therapeutic foods boosting its sales in the global market.
However, higher costs and the absence of sufficient market channels are projected to impede the growth of RTE therapeutic food products throughout the forecast period. Many producers of RTD therapeutic products do not adhere to WHO’s food product preparation standards, resulting in microbial contamination.
