The results are presented as SD of the means. ComF⁰¹: complementary food 01 (white maize+red teff+soybean); ComF⁰²: complementary food 02 (white maize+red teff+insect bee larvae); RV: recommended value; commercial wean mix (Enriched Mama's Choice); means with different superscripts (alphabets) in the same row are significantly different (P < 0.05); ^∗sources: [62, 63]; ⁺source [32]; ^α[64]; ^∞estimated from data given for protein and fat in the codex standard.
