Lucknow, Nov. 19 -- Ponty Chadha's death may cost his group the Rs. 9,000-crore contract to supply food under the supplementary nutrition food programme in Uttar Pradesh.

Sources in the child development and nutrition department said, "To maintain his grip over nutrition supply, Ponty Chadha ensured that the contract was tailor-made for his company and the rivals were automatically eliminated. The technical bid that opened last week was finalised in the favour of Chadha's Great Value Food. However, his death has forced the state government to re-think."

A senior officer said, "The opening of the financial bid (the final approval for the contract) has been delayed." It indicates that new players might gain entry into the nutrition supply business at the cost of Great Value Food.

The UP government had finalised the contract in violation of the Supreme Court order of 2004, according to which only self-help groups, mahila mandals and village communities should be given contracts. Also, instead of annual tenders, the state government had decided to finalise the contract for three years.

Some firms supplying nutritious food in other states had challenged the tender before the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court. The matter is expected to come up before the court on Monday.

Chadha's firm had bagged the tender in 2009 too during the BSP regime.

His sudden death has also cast a shadow over the distribution of nutrition through 90,000 anganwari centres across Uttar Pradesh. Since 2005, Great Value Food has maintained its monopoly over the nutrition supply business in UP. As Chadha's network spreads across 75 districts in the state, very few companies can now fill the gap.

Sambhu Nath, the director of child development and nutrition department, said there will be no adverse impact on the distribution of nutrition among the children and pregnant women as the state government has already finalised the technical bid for the supply. "The company has assured the government that it would maintain regular supply of nutrition to all the centres in the state."

However, the ground reality does not reflect Nath's enthusiasm. The head of Kushati village in Barabanki district, about 40 km from Lucknow, Lalchand, said the supply of nutrition has dried up since October.

"I have lodged a complaint with the SDM but he told me that the private company that was supplying nutrition has put the supply on hold. The children and pregnant women who got regular nutrition at the centre are suffering," said Lalchand.

TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 18, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cross Creek Animal Medical Center in Tampa, FL announced that the practice is now offering nutrition consultations as part of the veterinary clinic's routine wellness exams. The veterinary clinic carries the Royal Canin therapeutic diet, as well as the full Hill's Pet Food and Purina Pet Food lines. Therapeutic pet food diets can help with a variety of health conditions including weight management, cat bladder health, digestive health, coat and skin health, joint health, oral healthy and cat thyroid health.

Tampa veterinarian Dr. Timothy D. Hodge is educating pet owners about the benefits of nutrition consultations for overall pet health. According to Dr. Hodge, special prescription diets for pets can naturally help manage health conditions, including thyroid imbalances, joint problems, and skin/coat health.

"The average pet superstore sells a wide variety of different pet foods, which can be overwhelming for pet owners," said Dr. Hodge. "It can be difficult to tell which foods are best for a pet's unique wellness needs, and which foods live up to the claims on their labels. That's why our veterinary hospital now offers nutrition counseling as part of our commitment to pet holistic care."

The Tampa veterinary hospital is now offering the Royal Canin therapeutic diet. "Since 1968, Royal Canin has been at the forefront of pet nutrition," said Dr. Hodge. "They are the first pet food company to develop food tailor-made for a single breed pets, larger breed animals and a nutritional program for indoor cats. We are proud to offer pet owners access to this superior brand of pet nutrition."

According to Dr. Hodge, specially-tailored diets can make a substantial difference for a pet's overall health. For example, nutrients such as tyrosine and copper can intensify coat color in pets. Other food formulas can help manage thyroid imbalances, feline bladder health, joint health, oral health and digestive health.

"Many pet owners are surprised to discover the difference that the right balance of nutrients can make for their pets," said Dr. Hodge. "For example, a joint balance diet can help older, arthritic pets become more active. Older cats that struggle with bladder or thyroid problems can also benefit from specially formulated diets. Balancing nutrient intake is a very important part of pet holistic care."

Food from Royal Canin is ISO-certified, a designation which means that Royal Canin meets international quality control and customer satisfaction standards.

Depending on a pet's wellness needs, the Tampa veterinarian may recommend the Hill's Pet Food or the Purina Pet Food lines, both of which are carried by the veterinary hospital.

During an annual wellness exam, Dr. Hodge will make specific recommendations for diet changes and pet holistic care.

Tampa Veterinarian Offers Prescription Pet Food Diets and Nutrition Consultations

Sizzling saucepans, men and women in chef pants running with pots of water and frantic cries for salt made the cooking stations at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Pasadena like a scene from a show on the Food Network.

Further enhancing the resemblance were boxes of mystery ingredients: acorn squash, alfredo sauce, persimmons, a pineapple and animal-shaped graham crackers.

But the frenzy wasn't a taping of the show "Chopped." It was the recent California School Nutrition Assn.'s annual conference.

Teams from 11 school districts participated in the cooking competition to highlight new federal nutrition standards and the chefs' ability to turn them into creative dishes that appeal to the pickiest consumers.

"These are the real Top Chefs," said Mary Lou Fulton, a senior program manager for the California Endowment, a nonprofit health foundation that organized the event. "They are cooking for the most important people of all: our kids."

The new standards include more fruits and vegetables, whole grains and no trans-fats, changes that some California schools have already implemented and morphed into a way of life. The Los Angeles Unified School District adopted a new food policy last week, ensuring that the state's largest school system buys organic produce and free-range animal products.

The Oakland Unified School District receives fresh produce from nearby farms and has 23 produce markets on some school campuses to encourage students to continue healthy eating at home.

"It's been a challenge because we're dealing with students," said Roslynn DeCuir, a food service employee in Oakland. "They eat with their eyes, and they might not recognize some of what is on their plates."

That challenge, DeCuir said, is what drives the cooks to be innovative. "This competition is a great opportunity to get creative."

The teams had 30 minutes to plan a kid-centric meal, prepare the ingredients and cook a plate for each of the four judges using the new federal guidelines. (They didn't have to use only the mystery ingredients.)
