Although it is generally accepted that the addition of micronutrient powders (MNPs) to foods causes no or negligible changes to organoleptic properties, there are anecdotal reports of low acceptability of the MNP distributed in Indonesia. The objective of this study was to assess whether the organoleptic properties of micronutrient powders reduce the acceptability of foods if used as recommended.

The purpose of this study on child stunting determinants in Indonesia was to outline who are the most vulnerable to stunting, which interventions have been most successful, and what new research is needed to fill knowledge gaps. Published studies are lacking on how education; society and culture; agriculture and food systems; and water, sanitation, and the environment contribute to child stunting.
