How the programme works

Five steps, never food alone.

Partner

With the school or anganwadi, so the food fits how the place actually runs.

Assess

Every child, so the programme knows who needs what.

Deliver

Food, every school day, built for kitchens that may have no water at all.

Educate

Nutrition lessons in Marathi, for children and mothers alike.

Monitor

Health check-ups, deworming and growth tracking, on a schedule.

Never food alone.

A health worker measures a child's arm and logs the reading. This routine screening runs alongside every serving.

What's inside

Read both labels. Judge for yourself.

Two packs, side by side. On the left, the kind of loud "high protein" pack you have seen a hundred times: a big promise on the front, and a back you have to squint at. Pull the front off and read what is really in it. On the right, the actual TBR pack, held to the same test.

The new recipes

What changes when the recipe changes.

TBR designs its new recipes with UGIPL's engine. The left column is read off the printed labels of TBR's current line. The right column is the engine's estimate, within 10 to 15 percent until lab tests.

Axis	Before, the current line	After, the reformulation
Protein per serving	VERIFIED 1.65 g to 7.4 g	ESTIMATE 8.0 g to 9.4 g across the seven seeded formulations
Complete protein (all 9 amino acids)	VERIFIED Not deliberately designed. Cereal-led savoury line.	ESTIMATE Yes. All seven formulations clear the WHO/FAO/UNU 2007 pattern on all nine.
Added sugar	VERIFIED Porridge about 26 g per 100 g. Chikki 38 g per 100 g.	ESTIMATE Cold porridge about 5.1 g per 100 g. Savoury mixes, 0 g added.
Sodium (savoury)	VERIFIED 1.1 g to 1.33 g per 100 g	ESTIMATE At or below 0.5 g per 100 g. The baked savoury mix (R3) is about 0.25 g.
Fat	VERIFIED 16 g to 18 g per 100 g across most ready-to-eat items	CONSTRAINT Moderate. No palm oil, baked rather than fried.
Synthetic additives	VERIFIED INS 627, INS 631, INS 635, added colours, INS 551 (anticaking)	CONSTRAINT None. Clean label is a hard constraint.
Fortification	VERIFIED Unreliable and inconsistent on labels. Treated as effectively unfortified.	CONSTRAINT Planned fortification with iron, zinc, folic acid and vitamin B12, within FSSAI limits. Amounts are set once the premix is confirmed and lab-tested.
Preparation at school	VERIFIED BalAahar and the porridge need hot or cold water and mixing before they can be served.	CONSTRAINT Every reformulated recipe is ready to eat or works with cold water. Many schools have no hot water, and some have none at all.
