They primarily operate in custom nutrient formulation for the food and beverage industry, developing tailored blends for specific client needs. They also engage in contract manufacturing, covering areas such as cereal fortification, nutrient-enhanced swallows, and the production of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF). Their primary clientele includes NGOs and food industry players, but there is a strong push to make their solutions more accessible to the broader public. Their efforts are aligned with both voluntary and government-mandated fortification programs aimed at addressing malnutrition, especially among children.


Mr. Saidu, Welfare Secretary of the Stanford Seed Network, played a key voice during the session. He emphasized the importance of collaboration both within the Seed Network members and with external stakeholders, as a strategic tool for business growth and long-term sustainability.


The visit was a powerful reminder of the shared values within the Seed Network: innovation and impact. The Seed Network looks forward to further successes in  MLL as they continue to scale their solutions and transform lives through food fortification.
