DSM, Ingredion and Tetra Pak join forces to feed 2.4M malnourished Kenyan children with “super porridge”

25 Sep 2023 — In a “first-of-its-kind” public-private partnership in Africa, industry players DSM, Ingredion and Tetra Pak have pooled resources together with the Kenyan government to supply 50,000 malnourished school children with a ready-to-drink “super porridge” in 2023. 

The ready-to-drink porridge is sweetened using a sweetener produced from the stevia plant, is fortified with 15 micronutrients and processed and packed in a Tetra Brik aseptic 250 ml pack with a straw. The partnership aims to scale up to 100,000 in 2024, reaching 2.4 million children by 2025.
