Plumpy'Nut is a peanut-based paste in a plastic wrapper for treatment of severe acute malnutrition manufactured by Nutriset, a French company. Removing the need for hospitalization, the 92-gram (3+1⁄4 oz) packets of this paste can be administered at home and allow larger numbers to be treated.Plumpy'Nut may be referred to in scientific literature as a Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) alongside other RUTFs such as BP100.Nutriset has been criticized by Médecins Sans Frontières for enforcing its Plumpy'nut patents. However, Plumpy'nut patents have since expired in the US, UK and the European Union.
