Based in Matthews, NC, Mana Nutrition is dedicated to developing global malnutrition solutions. The non-profit organization produces MANA (Mother Administered Nutritive Aid), a ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) made of fortified peanut paste carefully formulated to provide a child’s basic nutritional needs. The product is packaged in easy-open film pouches.


Mana Nutrition notes that just three servings of MANA per day for six weeks can save the life of a starving child. Currently, Mana Nutrition can produce approximately 46,000 pounds of MANA daily. The product has been distributed to several African and Latin American countries. UNICEF and USAID are MANA’s two largest customers.


MANA is packaged in 3.25-oz (93-g) foil/film pouches. Mana Nutrition uses two different pouch structures—one is a 48-gauge metallized polyester, and the other is a foil lamination. The pouching material is manufactured by BMSI Packaging and is flexo-printed by packaging materials broker Garlock Printing & Converting Corp.. The pouches are formed, filled, and sealed using a combination of equipment from Hinds Bock and Ica Packaging Machines.
