Nutribun, also referred to as Nutri-bun or Nutriban, is a bread product used in elementary school feeding programs in the Philippines to combat child malnutrition,[1] initially as part of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)'s Food for Peace program from 1971 to 1997,[2][3] and later as part of the child health programs of various Philippine cities.
The base bread of the original 1971–1997 program was designed at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University between 1968 and 1970. It was made of a wheat blend flour and non-fat dried milk donated by the United States under the PL 480 Title II Food Aid.[3][4]
