In my view it is important to always look at the likely intake range when designing a programme like this to assess whether nutrient intake is (1) likely to be adequate and (2) whether there is a likely hood that the UL (Upper Tolerable Intake) for nutrients may be exceeded. To do this a spreadsheet tool, e.g. NutVal [url]www.nutval.net[/url], should be used and various diets compared. In this case it would probably be important to look at diets containing the RSB plus MNP at both the planned dose and what would happen if a child consumed all of their energy needs from the food assistance items (which may of course happen for short periods during a food crisis). At the end of the day the risks of deficiency versus excess intakes need to be balanced and decisions made. But I would urge you to look at calculated nutrient intakes under different scenarios before you make the decision.

thanks for your valuable response, Andrew. I tried to reach the link you provide for nutrition value calculation sheet, but it come out with not accessible. So, if you have any other link or download spreadsheet on that tools, would you mind to share through this page or with email. (you can reach me through nicholustintzaw@gmail.com)

Hello, sorry about the issue with the link. The site is running ok so I must have made an error in entering it on the from. Trying again with the link: [url]http://www.nutval.net/[/url]
