Actual (reported)The overall hypotheses is that a product designed with optimized nutritional characteristics, based on consumer preferences and leveraging local nutrient dense ingredients, can successfully deliver nutrition through sustainable market-driven approaches. The objectives of this study will be 1) to assess the nutritional adequacy of Kenyan households with children and 2) to determine the market potential of a locally sourced and manufactured, blended fortified, cereal-based product for the improvement of micronutrient deficiencies among children aged 24-60 months. This study will simulate a market study, the investigators conducted a product launch, determined market potential based on sales, evaluated marketing strategy to increase market share, and modeled the nutritional contribution of FtFF/traditionally fortified product for iron, zinc, and vitamin A. The investigators expect to provide a throughout evaluation of a business-driven strategy (for profit, social enterprise) as a sustainable tool to decrease micronutrient deficiencies.

Actual (reported)Assessment of staple intake in urban Kenyan households and children
A quantitative, modified food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) will be used to assess consumption of various starch rich staples (rice, corn, sorghum, millet, potatoes, cassava) and starch-rich processed foods (bread) for the whole household and children. The caregiver will provide information about the child's amount and frequency of consumption. This will be measured in g/day\*child. We will ask #times/week each staple was consumed as well as the average portion size consumed each time (g).

Assessment of the nutritional adequacy of urban Kenyan households and children
Nutritional status of children in the household will be assessed using the Food Consumption Score Nutritional Quality Analysis (FCS-N) which was based on country-specific food groups. Food groups are orange fruits, orange vegetables, other fruits, eggs, dairy, organ meats, meat, fish, grains and legumes. Example of food items in the FCS-N assessment will be corroborated by a Kenyan maternal and child health expert. This will be measured in #times/week each food group was consumed.
