Sprinkles is an innovative home fortification method to improve the health and well-being of women and children by combating vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
Sprinkles is a 1 gram sachet that can be easily mixed into any food prepared at home. It does not interact with food components or significantly change the taste, colour or texture of the food to which it is added.
Sprinkles not only attempts to restore the nutritional status of preschoolers who are already undernourished, but also focuses on preventing malnutrition in mothers during pregnancy and in infants and young children during their first two years of life.
Community-based studies on Sprinkles involving both anaemic and non-anaemic children have been completed in more than eight international locations, all showing success in treating and preventing anaemia.
