Non-home prepared foods: contribution to energy and nutrient intake of consumers living in two low-income areas in Nairobi

Abstract

: Non-home prepared foods are an important source of energy and nutrients for men, women and schoolchildren in Nairobi. In Korogocho, street foods, and in Dandora, both kiosks and street foods are the main sources of non-home prepared foods. The adequacy of energy and nutrient intakes does not differ between consumers and non-consumers of non-home prepared foods.
