Our Products
Each day, we strive to make tastier and healthier products that help consumers care for themselves and their families. This would not be possible without our expertise in nutrition, social science, and passion for quality in everything we do.
Through research, we aim to make fortified food products that will not only combat malnutrition, but will also be enjoyable and accepted by the local population. Below is a summary of the different types of products we have been developing.

Our hemoglobin-fortified cookies are rich in highly absorbent heme-iron, as well as all the essential amino acids needed for the healthy development of children. Our cookie has been designed with children in mind. It's tasty flavor makes it an ideal snack for children in school programs. At the moment, we are interested in developing a new recipe with an even higher content of hemoglobin.

UNICEF and other international organisations are focused on substituting lactose derived products present in RUTF products, due to cost and the increase of lactose-intolerance around the world. GIWWA is developing a RUTF product within this vision, keeping the desired level of nutrients defined by those international organisation's dietary guidelines.

In 2016, Sera-Scandia provided dried hemoglobin-fortified cookies to the non-profit program Operation Smile in Nicaragua. The goal of the program was to eliminate iron deficiency anaemia in children with cleft lip, so they could be eligible for surgery. After a few weeks of eating the fortified cookies, the number of children eligible for operation increased notably.
