Acceptability and usage of universal multiple micronutrient supplementation among infants in a suburban area of Sri Lanka

The supply of micronutrient supplements has been regular in the Kurunegala district during the study period. However, acceptability was low, at least partly due to changes in food taste and smell after adding micronutrient supplements. The low acceptance is likely due to factors intrinsic to the micronutrient preparations, which need to be rectified in the future.

Abstract

The supply of micronutrient supplements has been regular in the Kurunegala district during the study period. However, acceptability was low, at least partly due to changes in food taste and smell after adding micronutrient supplements. The low acceptance is likely due to factors intrinsic to the micronutrient preparations, which need to be rectified in the future.
