Abstract

Pour mieux prévenir la dénutrition et les déficiences vitaminiques et minérales chez les personnes en situation d’exclusion, nous avons mis au point un aliment enrichi facile à consommer dans la rue : le Vitapoche®. Il s’agit d’une pâte chocolatée résistante à la contamination bactérienne, emballée dans un sachet hermétique. Cette pâte est naturellement riche en potassium et en acides gras oméga-3. Elle a été enrichie en calcium, zinc et vitamines C, B1, B9, PP, B12, E et D, afin que chaque sachet (70 g, 377 kcal) apporte ces nutriments en quantité nécessaire pour la journée. Outre son intérêt nutritionnel évident, le Vitapoche® présente aussi un double intérêt économique, pour le donateur et pour le bénéficiaire. Une étude d’acceptabilité menée au sein de la population cible à Paris a montré que deux personnes sur trois consommeraient régulièrement du Vitapoche® si elles pouvaient se le procurer facilement. Le Vitapoche® n’est pas un substitut de repas. Il n’est pas destiné à remplacer l’aide alimentaire déjà existante, mais il la complète, afin d’en optimiser la qualité nutritionnelle.
