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 Alternative 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.

Terminal entries at Suffolk County charter school suggest that the paste is completely devoid of flavor (though the intervention note stated that the paste "tastes great"), 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.
