IDDSI Level 6 - Soft and bite-sized meals
Our level 6 meals and desserts are soft and tender, requiring light chewing.
Each element of the dish is cut into smaller pieces no larger than 15mm and can be mashed with a fork.
IDDSI Level 5 - Minced and moist meals
Our Level 5 dishes are minced to be tender and moist.
The pieces are equal to or less than 4mm in width and no more than 15mm in length
There are now over 106 meals for people with dysphagia
and behind it all was the ethos; great cookery and really
good ingredients.
