Designed for the Frontlines of Disaster Response

Before the Monsun Timur Laut (MTL) 2025/6 season began, #SantapanRTE worked closely with first responders like Bomba, to develop an energy-packed Ready-to-Eat (RTE) specifically suited for disaster environments.

From the outset, this RTE had to meet several critical requirements:

• Pocket-sized (or smaller) for easy carrying during operations

• All-natural ingredients

• Nutritious and energy-dense

• Able to curb hunger for a few hours

• And of course—delicious

After extensive research, countless discussions, and multiple rounds of trial and error, we arrived at a solution we’re proud of: a compact Energy Stick, weighing only 50g each and made with just three simple ingredients:

• Sweet Potatoes

• Full Cream Milk

• Palm Sugar

Despite its simplicity, this combination delivers meaningful benefits. The Energy Stick supports gut health, helps regulate blood sugar, is rich in essential minerals, and most importantly, it provides sufficient sustained energy when it is needed most.

On paper, it looked promising. But we knew it had to perform in real-world conditions.

So, we put it to the test.

Our testers included first responders, volunteers working on-site at disaster zones, hikers, scuba divers, everyday travellers, and even babies who are already on solid foods.

We’re happy (and proud) to share the feedback:

• Delicious

• A widely accepted flavour

• Filling enough that one tester forgot to eat his next meal

• Super easy to carry around

• And yes… delicious 😋

With results like these, we have to ask:

Would you be keen to purchase our Mashed Sweet Potatoes RTE if we made it commercially available?
