We produce the well-known RUTF product Plumpy’Nut® and are part of PlumpyField®, the network of independent producers developed by Nutriset in France in 2005, working toward the shared vision of“Nutritional autonomy for all.”

NUTRIK FZE is fully operational, with production capacity and stocks ready for delivery. Our operations are registered with the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), and our food safety management system is FSSC 22000 certified.

Beyond addressing malnutrition, NUTRIK FZE contributes to Nigeria’s economic development by supporting local sourcing of raw materials and strengthening local manufacturing capacity.
