Food Paste

The food paste is a consumable item in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
Food paste appears as a cafeteria tray with a blob of pink paste on it. It replaced all forms of food at Suffolk County charter school as an experiment to help fund the school through a program called the Nutritional Alternate Paste Program (NAPP), developed by Vault-Tec in conjunction with the federal government. The paste was designed to provide complete nutrition and have a shelf life of over 100 years.

Holotapes found in the school suggest that the paste is completely devoid of flavor, turns skin pink with regular consumption, and has psychological effects such as irritability.

The area that this consumable is found has a unique population of pink feral ghouls, which supports the observation of the paste turning the skin pink.

Locations

 * 16 food pastes inside Suffolk County charter school
 * 5 during a random encounter (see notes below)

Behind the scenes
undefined The food paste as a whole is a reference to Pink Slime, a food additive consisting of low-fat meat which was ground into a paste. It's particularly infamous after being widely used as a meal alternative in American school lunches during 2012, which resulted in major controversy. end
