Special nutrition product of WPF



Recommended Posts

I know it is better than nothing; especially in a disaster where there is no place to cook. The World food Programme is a very good organization of the UN that is a first responder. I was watching a program of what's happening in Haiti. I'm impressed at how the WPF gets simple food to the people.

They showed a package of energy bisquits that a person could survive on with only one package daily. Of course, this is an intervention until more food can come.

Here are the ingredients.

Quote:

What are they?

Wheat-based biscuits which provide 450kcal with a minimum of 10 grams and max of 15 grams of Protein per 100 grams, fortified in Vitamin and mineral.

When and where used?

In the first days of emergency when cooking facilities are scarce. Easy to distribute and provide a quick solution to improve the level of nutrition.

Ingredients:

Wheat flour, Hydrogenate Vegetable Shortening, Sugar, Soy flour, Invert Syrup, High fructose, Corn Syrup, Skimmed milk powder, Sodium and Ammonium, Bicarbonates, Salt, Minerals and Vitamins as : Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Iodine, Folic Acid, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B1, B2,B6,B12b C,D,E, Niacine, Vitamin A-retinol.

Nutritional value per 100g:

Energy 450Kcal

Protein 10 to 15g

Fat 15 g

Price $0.12 per 100g packet

I say good grief on the sugar, HFCS, and hydrogenated anything. But hey, it is a survival product and short term.

Check out their other "nutrition" products.

Their Compressed Food Bars don't look to bad.

I'm not really making fun of them. I would want them around, if ever I'm in such dire need. It is just their idea of nutrition.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
