Credit to Makame et al. (2023) for their textural analysis of commercially available complementary foods for babies aged 6 to 24 months in southern Africa. These products are intended for an early stage of life when nutrition is critical, but the nutrition profiles of these product were hit and miss. Many of the commercially available dry and ready-to-eat products that were tested under-delivered on energy content. The authors raise the concern that product textures tended to be thick, sticky, grainy and slimy, which might reduce food intake and nutritional benefits. Obviously, nutrition in a food that is not eaten doesn’t count for much. Read more about this and other studies from members of the academic consortium.
