“…In addition, due to missing information in vitamin A‐rich vegetables in 2007 and other vegetables in 2007 and 2014, fruit and vegetable consumption could have been underestimated in the corresponding years; (c) other fruits and vegetables, which also declined from ~50% in 2007 to ~22% in 2014 that may not entirely be explained by seasonality (Figure S5); and (d) eggs, which were fed to less than a third of children and even fewer among children aged 6–11 months. Recent evidence from Latin America shows the potential of introducing eggs early in children's diets both in increasing the intake of protein and improving linear growth in young children (Iannotti et al, ).…”

Bangladesh has experienced steady socio-economic development. However, improvements in child growth have not kept pace. It is important to document complementary feeding (CF) practices-a key determinant of children's growth-and their trends over time. The study aims to examine trends in CF practices in children aged 6-23 months using data from Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys conducted in 2004, 2007, 2011, and 2014. Multilevel logistic regression models were applied to identify independent predictors of four CF practice indicators among children 6-23 months, namely, timely introduction of complementary foods, minimum meal frequency, minimum dietary diversity, and minimum acceptable diet. Introduction of complementary foods was achieved among 64-71% of children between 2004 and 2014. The proportion meeting minimum meal frequency increased from 2004 to 2007 (71-81%) and declined and held steady at 65% from 2011 to 2014. The proportion meeting minimum dietary diversity in 2011 and 2014 was low (25% and 28%), and so was minimum acceptable diet (19% and 20%). From 2007 to 2014, child dietary diversity decreased and the most decline was in the consumption of legumes and nuts (29% to 8%), vitamin A-rich fruits and vegetables (54% to 41%), and other fruits and vegetables (47% to 20%). Young child age (6-11 months), poor parental education, household poverty, and residence in the Chittagong and Sylhet independently predicted poorer feeding practices. Dietary diversity and overall diet in Bangladeshi children are strikingly poor. Stagnation or worsening of feeding practices in the past decade are concerning and call for decisive policy and programme action to address inappropriate child feeding practices.

“…Eggs are an inexpensive and more accessible high protein source for the low-income population than fortified foods. This study showed that the ingestion of one egg per day can reduce the prevalence of stunting by 47% and underweight by 74% compared with the control group that did not receive eggs (Iannotti, et al, 2017). This device will be able to reduce the gap between the access to protein and children of low-income; trying to lessen the social problem of malnutrition.…”

Eggs should comply with strict quality control processes. The first step of the quality process is egg candling analysis. Egg candling is a non-destructive procedure that consists on applying light against an egg to detect abnormalities. This process is usually done manually at small and medium poultry factories. Manual egg candling is prone to human mistakes and can cause health problems to the workers. It is necessary to implement an automated process. The following study briefly describes a device that merges automated and manual egg candling analysis. Furthermore, it goes beyond the design and describes valid solutions regarding occupational safety and malnutrition that can emerge due to the implementation of this innovative design.

“…In the United Kingdom, the Food Foundation, a non-profit organization working to improve nutrition, collaborated with the creative agency ifour in late 2017 to create messages and images that tap into children's interest in superheroes to encourage them to eat vegetables. The impact of this has not yet been rigorously evaluated, but a related initiative targeting households in a province of Ecuador in 2015 increased egg consumption to one a day in 6-to 9-month-olds, and improved growth 15 . Providing such incentives will boost consumer demand and thus encourage companies to meet it.…”

Eggs in Early Complementary Feeding and Child Growth: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract: The findings supported our hypothesis that early introduction of eggs significantly improved growth in young children. Generally accessible to vulnerable groups, eggs have the potential to contribute to global targets to reduce stunting.
