Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Key Changes

  • Nutritional standards are differentiated based on whether the food provided is a 'Take Home Ration' or a 'Hot Cooked Meal'.
  • For example, children above 3 years upto 6 years receiving morning snack and hot cooked meal should receive 400 kcal of energy, 15-20g of protein, 15-20g of fat, 55g of carbohydrate, 150mg of calcium, 1.5mg of zinc, 3.0mg of iron, 40µg of dietary folate, 80µg of Vitamin A, 0.33mg of Vitamin B6 and 0.67µg of Vitamin B12.
  • The notification replaces the existing Schedule II of the National Food Security Act, 2013 with a new schedule specifying revised nutritional standards.
  • The revised schedule details the energy (kcal), protein (g), protein quality, fat (g), carbohydrate, cereal pulse ratio, calcium (mg), zinc (mg), iron (mg), dietary folate (µg), Vitamin A (µg), Vitamin B6 (mg), and Vitamin B12 (µg) requirements for different age groups and physiological conditions.
  • Specific categories covered include children aged 6 months to 6 years (including undernourished children), pregnant women, lactating mothers, and children in lower and upper primary classes.

What it means
