Poor nutrition is one of the major problems in the Philippines nowadays which affects
children’s health and leads to malnutrition if not prevented. Not having enough nutrients
in the body may reduce the immunity, increased susceptibility to disease and mental
development. Ready-to-eat dietary supplement was developed as an addition to
consumption of food which derived from the daily dose of vitamin and minerals. It helps
to increase the calorie intake of children and to meet the daily recommendations of
essential nutrients. Cassava and peanuts are the main ingredients of the product which are
rich in calories and protein. The product underwent different processes such as drying,
formulation, mixing, cooking, molding and packaging. Furthermore, cyanide, proximate,
microbial, nutritional and shelf life analyses were conducted in the product. The tests
result showed that every 50 grams of ready-to-eat dietary supplement contains 239
calories and safe for consumption. The study was evaluated using 9-point Hedonic scale
by fifty random students resulted to liked extremely. It is therefore concluded that the
Ready-to-Eat Dietary Supplement is “acceptable.”
