PROJECT PEANUT BUTTER

Food and Beverage ManufacturingMissouri, United States51-200 Employees

Project Peanut Butter is a nonprofit in the food and beverage manufacturing sector that addresses severe acute malnutrition through ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF). It operates production facilities in Malawi, Sierra Leone, and Ghana, prioritizing locally sourced ingredients to support domestic economies, and it sells the majority of its product at cost to United Nations agencies. The organization develops RUTF to meet strict microbiological, nutritional, and sensory standards, while field teams including nurses identify malnourished children and deliver food through mobile clinics at no charge.

Based in St. Louis, Missouri, PPB positions itself within the nonprofit health and humanitarian aid space by expanding access to treatment for severe malnutrition beyond traditional aid models. A defining approach is local production and sourcing in the countries where the need exists, which supports farmers and workers and directly reaches vulnerable children in sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. The RUTF standard of care endorsement by major UN agencies dates back to 2007, providing external validation of the treatment approach.
