Dr. Dough is the food manufacturing and therapeutic nutrition unit of WAN Trading, specializing in the development of gluten-free products and nutritional solutions tailored for special needs and combating malnutrition.
Dr. Dough leads the manufacturing and formulation of food products, relying on local Sudanese raw materials to provide safe, scientifically-researched nutritional solutions suitable for both commercial and humanitarian use.
This “Gap” represents the critical challenges in nutrition and food production facing Sudan and the world today. Globally, wheat and other staples often cause health issues or lack full nutritional value, highlighting the need for functional, safe, and nutrient-rich food alternatives. In Sudan, malnutrition and limited access to high-quality grains create a real food security gap, despite the country’s rich agricultural potential. Dr. Dough aims to bridge this gap by:
Developing local, nutrient-dense, safe, and gluten-free products; encouraging sustainable and diverse agriculture to transform Sudan into a potential global breadbasket; and providing science-based, affordable nutrition to communities affected by malnutrition and dietary restrictions. By addressing these challenges, Dr. Dough’s mission goes beyond food production to reshaping nutrition, health, and resilience in Sudan and beyond.
