These pouches are compatible with common ENFit tube-feeding devices and they help to provide quick and convenient nutrition in [single-serve pouches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meal-pouches) for use at home, on the go or during school. The Pediatric Blended Meals will be coming to market in early 2024 in three flavors made with easily digested pea protein and 27 vitamins and minerals, providing a minimum of a third of a cup of fruits and vegetables per pouch. With every new medical formula for children and adults, Kate Farms fills a gap in the market with a nutritious, problem-solving product.
