portioned
Split into shares
Portioned describes something divided into portions or shares.
Food is portioned when split into servings: The chef portioned the risotto onto six plates.
Resources can be portioned among recipients.
Pre-portioned items come already divided: pre-portioned snack packs.
The word often implies deliberate allocation rather than random division.
