The current approach for its management is nutrition counselling. However, there has been no commercial production of ready\u2010to\u2010use supplementary foods for the management of MAM in the country but rather imported from companies outside the country. The objective of the study was to determine the ability of a ready\u2010to\u2010use food supplementation versus corn soya blend (CSB+) to manage MAM. The randomised controlled trial employed three parallel arm approach. The first arm received CSB+ and infant and young child feeding (IYCF) counselling, the second arm received ready\u2010to\u2010use food (RUF) and IYCF counselling and the third arm, a control group, received IYCF as standard care for three consecutive months. Results indicated that the overall proportion of children who recovered from MAM was 65.6%. There was a significant difference (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) in the proportion of children who recovered from MAM between the three arms (CSB+, RUF and standard care). Results revealed further a high recovery rate of 83.7% in the RUF arm, followed by 71.9% in the CSB+ arm and 41% in the standard care arm. The risk differences for RUF compared with CSB+ and standard care were 11.8% and 42.7%, respectively. RUFs can be used as an alternative supplement to conventional CSB+ for the management of MAM in children and, thus, has the potential to scale up its use to address the problem of MAM among 6 to 59 months'\u00a0children.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/mcn.13602","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,9]],"date-time":"2024-01-09T00:34:15Z","timestamp":1704760455000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Efficacy of ready\u2010to\u2010use food supplement for treatment of moderate acute malnutrition among children aged 6 to 59 months"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5162-5145","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nyabasi","family":"Makori","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition Education and Training (NET) Tanzania Food and Nutrition Centre Dar es salaam Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hope","family":"Masanja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition Education and Training (NET) Tanzania Food and Nutrition Centre Dar es salaam Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ray","family":"Masumo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition Education and Training (NET) Tanzania Food and Nutrition Centre Dar es salaam Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suleman","family":"Rashid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Science and Agroprocessing Sokoine University of Agriculture Morogoro Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Theresia","family":"Jumbe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Science and Agroprocessing Sokoine University of Agriculture Morogoro Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meshack","family":"Tegeye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"World Food Programme Dar Es Salaam Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Debora","family":"Esau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"World Food Programme Dar Es Salaam Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juliana","family":"Muiruri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"World Food Programme Dar Es Salaam Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Geofrey","family":"Mchau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition Education and Training (NET) Tanzania Food and Nutrition Centre Dar es salaam Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stanslaus H.","family":"Mafung'a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition Education and Training (NET) Tanzania Food and Nutrition Centre Dar es salaam Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1967-9215","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cypriana","family":"Moshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition Education and Training (NET) Tanzania Food and Nutrition Centre Dar es salaam Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Neema","family":"Shosho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"World Food Programme Dar Es Salaam Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vera","family":"Kwara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"World Food Programme Dar Es Salaam Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hoyce","family":"Mshida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition Education and Training (NET) Tanzania Food and Nutrition Centre Dar es salaam Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Germana","family":"Leyna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition Education and Training (NET) Tanzania Food and Nutrition Centre Dar es salaam Tanzania"},{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences Dar es Salaam Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20085489"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","first-page":"67","article-title":"Formulation of sorghum\u2010peanut blend using linear programming for treatment of moderate acute malnutrition in Uganda","volume":"1","author":"Amegovu A.
