Nutribun, also called Nutri-bun or Nutriban, is a fortified bread product distributed through elementary school feeding programs in the Philippines to combat child malnutrition. It began as part of the United States Agency for International Development's Food for Peace program from 1971 to 1997, and later continued through the child health programs of various Philippine cities. The original bread's base recipe was developed at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University between 1968 and 1970, made from a wheat blend flour and non-fat dried milk donated by the United States under the PL 480 Title II Food Aid program.
