apetito Launches 'Better Than Ever' Purée Meals

Building on its already extensive specialist nutrition range, apetito has unveiled an exciting new and improved range of world-leading Purée meals, designed to bring joy and restore dignity to mealtimes for individuals with swallowing difficulties (also known as dysphagia).

After listening closely to customer feedback and preferences, apetito has made significant changes to its texture modified meals, as well as introducing five delicious brand-new dishes to deliver an even better mealtime dining experience.

The new additions to the menu include an aromatic Purée Chicken Korma and warming Purée Bean Chilli, alongside three potato-topped pies, Purée Cottage Pie, Purée Shepherd’s Pie and Purée Fish Pie, that feature a “just cooked” browning effect to enhance the visual appeal.

One range enhancement is bringing all its Puréed dishes into the smaller ‘Purée Petite’ portion size, providing a more manageable serving for those living with dysphagia. This ensures that even those with smaller appetites can still enjoy meals packed with essential calories and protein.

Understanding the importance of mealtimes no matter dietary requirements, apetito has added a wide selection of new puréed sauces and gravies into meals to elevate the delicious flavours, along with an array of brand-new side dishes that vastly expand on the variety and choice available.

Additionally, apetito has significantly improved the allergen profile of the meals, with 11 dishes now being made without all 14 recognised allergens* and many more made without milk and soya. This update offers individuals with food allergies greater freedom of choice and helps to maintain a varied and inclusive menu selection.

Maia Fergus-O’Grady, Senior Category Executive of Specialist Nutrition at apetito spoke on this new range launch, saying:

“We are extremely excited to be launching our ‘better than ever’ range of Purée meals and desserts, which we believe provides a real step change in our offering for those living with swallowing difficulties.

“Mealtimes are about more than just nourishment and it’s extremely important that everyone can enjoy their mealtimes and dine with dignity, regardless of their dietary needs. We are confident that this new range will allow an even safer, more diverse selection of meals for those requiring specialist diets and allow them to experience the full joy of dining without compromise.”

*Please note that “Made Without” does not mean “Free From”. Made without means that the identified ingredient is not part of the recipe, but very small amounts could be present. The intended purpose is to enable the avoidance of an ingredient disliked due to its taste or texture. Food ‘made without’ an ingredient may not be suitable for someone living with food hypersensitivity.
