Sustainable Intervention of Supplementation to Improve Kid's Growth Study

"MECs are manufactured according to the Standard Operational Procedures which have been developed taking into account the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) to maintain quality and safety and ensure the Ready-to-eat MEC products are safe. Data on the micronutrient concentrations and any potential bacteriological (Salmonella sp is negative, Bacillus cereus, Enterobacteriaceae, and Coagulase positive streptococci level are considered safe) and chemical contaminants (Pb, Hg, Cd, As, and Sn are not detectable) in the MEC products have been obtained from analysis in the laboratory of Saraswanti Indo Genetech, which has been accredited by KAN LP-184-IDN with SNI ISO/IEC 17025: 2008. Laboratory analysis of MEC products will be repeated at the middle and the end of the RCT to check on the quality and safety of the MEC product."

"Placebo crackers are manufactured according to SOPs which have been developed taking into account the HACCP to maintain quality and safety and ensure the Ready-to-eat placebo products are safe. Data on the micronutrient concentrations and any potential bacteriological (Salmonella sp is negative, Bacillus cereus, Enterobacteriaceae, and Coagulase positive streptococci level are considered safe) and chemical contaminants (Pb, Hg, Cd, As, and Sn are not detected) in the placebo have been obtained based on the analysis in the laboratory of Saraswanti Indo Genetech, which has been accredited by KAN LP-184-IDN with SNI ISO/IEC 17025: 2008. Laboratory analysis of placebo samples will be repeated at the middle and the end of the RCT to check on the quality and safety of the placebo product."
