Corn Soy Milk
Corn Soy Milk
(CSM) is a blended, fortified, processed commodity and is a source of
high quality energy, protein, minerals, and vitamins. CSM requires
cooking before consumption. CSM can be used as a high quality nutrient
supplement for all age groups. It is particularly suitable as a
complementary food for infants over six months (assuming exclusive
breastfeeding until six months) and for young children. It can be used
in MCH programs, in blanket and selective feeding programs, and as a
part of a general ration. When used as a primary food source for young
children, vegetable oil and/or sugar should be added to the blended
food to increase the energy content and improve the taste. In general,
lactose intolerance is unlikely to result from consumption of CSM. For
more information on the physiologic appropriateness of blended,
fortified commodities containing NFDM, refer to Part
Two of the CRG.
1. Nutritional Values (per
100 g)
These are average values, calculated from
nutritive data for Corn Soy Blend (CSB), cornmeal, and Non-Fat Dry Milk
(NFDM), as listed in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural
Research Service (USDA:ARS) 2001 USDA Nutrient Database, Release 14,
Laboratory Home Page, (www.nal.usda.gov/fnic).
These nutrient values are provided as a guide for use in the
calculation of food aid rations; users should be aware that shipments
of food aid may vary from these exact nutrient values.
