Thirty-seven children were each fed an average of 30 g of FPC every day for 9 weeks, except for the 4- to 7-day period when most (all except eight) had measles. After the first 3 days, the diets were well accepted, well tolerated, and totally consumed. The performance of the group was similar to a milk-fed group. There was a decrease in hemoglobin concentrations in both groups, which may have been due to iron deficiency.
