These are sprinkled onto hot meals, usually in school feeding programmes that provide hot meals to children, in cases where nutritional needs cannot be met through these food sources. Powders are also being used in more prosperous countries to readdress what powdered meal-replacement manufacturer ‘Huel’ calls “inefficient, inhumane and unsustainable” modern food production methods.
