The Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP) provides crucial food assistance following a presidential disaster declaration. A significant number of households affected by a major disaster, including those typically ineligible for regular SNAP, can access these emergency benefits. This program fills a critical gap, ensuring that survivors have the means to purchase food when their lives have been turned upside down.

According to UNICEF and WHO guidelines, F-100 is a crucial therapeutic milk used for the second phase of treating severe acute malnutrition (SAM). The ingredients in F-100 are specifically formulated to provide a high-energy diet to help children achieve rapid weight gain during their recovery phase. It is designed to be administered under strict medical supervision and is a cornerstone of nutritional rehabilitation in crisis zones.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), F75 and F100 are specialized therapeutic milk formulas used in the inpatient treatment of severe acute malnutrition (SAM), particularly in young children. Their names signify their energy density, with F75 providing 75 kcal per 100ml and F100 providing 100 kcal per 100ml. These formulas are part of a two-phased approach designed to safely and effectively rehabilitate malnourished patients.
