Nutritive value of some commercial weaning and supplementary foods.

Some locally available commercial weaning and supplementary foods were tested for their nutritive value and compared with milk alone or in combination of milk with wheat or wheat bread. Milk alone and Complan were found to be nutritionally superior to all other recipes. Wheat and milk combination were better than Cerelac and Farex in milk and at the same time much cheaper than the commercial weaning and supplementary foods (JPMA 32:249, 1982).
