Utilisation

BP-5™ Compact Food should be used particularly in the following situations:

For usage in the first phase of disaster relief operations during natural- or man-made disasters, before local foods can be distributed and prepared.
- BP-5™ has successfully been air dropped from different altitudes at many occasions, also without parachute.
- Drops made from 600 feet without parachute show no significant damage to the product.
- Humanitarian organisations and governmental agencies around the world have built up disaster preparedness stocks
As a supplement to local food in feeding programmes for treatment of moderately malnourished people (for severely malnourished people we recommend BP-100™ RUTF or eeZeePaste NUT™).
- Even small amounts of BP-5™ would have profound effect on the health status of malnourished people.
