In the past, treating severe acute malnutrition required long hospital stays and costly care. With Plumpy’Nut and ready-to-use nutritional solutions, everything has changed: children can now be treated at home, without the need for refrigeration or clean drinking water, freeing up hospital beds for other emergencies. Our products are specifically designed to meet the needs of children suffering from malnutrition, particularly in areas with limited access to a varied diet. However, they are not a substitute for breastfeeding or a diverse diet, both essential for optimal growth.
Administered according to WHO protocols, our products are intended for supervised medical use. Children with severe acute malnutrition must be monitored by healthcare professionals, whether in hospitals or through outpatient care. TANJAKA FOOD is committed to providing solutions that meet the medical and nutritional needs of frontline caregivers.

The MUAC bracelet: a simple tool to detect child malnutrition
The MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) bracelet provides a quick and effective way to assess the nutritional status of children aged 6 months to 5 years. It measures the circumference of the upper arm, midway between the shoulder and the elbow. This measurement reflects muscle mass and body fat, reliable indicators of acute malnutrition.
The bracelet uses a color-coded system for easy interpretation:
– Red: less than 11.5 cm → severe acute malnutrition
– Yellow: between 11.5 and 12.5 cm → moderate acute malnutrition
– Green: more than 12.5 cm → normal nutritional status
Easy to use even without medical training, the MUAC bracelet is an essential tool in community settings, especially in rural areas or during emergency situations.
