Nutrivita Foods was founded in 2010 through a partnership between Indian entrepreneurs and the French company Onyx Développement (Groupe Nutriset). Nutriset is a pioneer in treating Malnutrition using Ready to use Therapeutic Food (RUTF).
Nutriset was founded in Normandy in France in the year 1986 by Michel Lescanne an agricultural engineer. Nutriset is an independent business with a single goal from the start: feed vulnerable populations in developing countries and provide humanitarian and health organizations with innovative and effective nutritional solutions.
Acknowledged globally, Nutriset has enabled radical changes in the treatment and the prevention of malnutrition, through research and technological innovations.
With products such as therapeutic milks F-75 and F-100, Plumpy’Nut (the first RUTF ever designed) or a range of nutritional supplements and preventive products, Nutriset is leading major innovations in the fight against malnutrition. Nutriset significantly invests in research partnership and in channels of production closer to the needs in order to fulfil its mandate: nutritional autonomy for all.
Over the past 10 years, more than 36 million people have been supported with Nutriset products coming from its factory in Normandy, or from the PlumpyField network partners, closer to where the needs are.
Nutrivita was formed with a focus to fulfill the needs arising from Malnutrition in the Asian region. Nutrivita Foods is a member of the PlumpyField Network. With an intention to treat Malnutrition, and make quick and easy access to their products, Nutrivita started supplying the products of the Nutriset, as a PlumpyField network partner. Nutrivita has been regularly supplying RUTF, and RUSF products to the Asian and African regions.
