Catering for Dysphagia
Dysphagia, the medical term for difficulty swallowing, affects a significant proportion of care home residents.
Catering for dysphagia means modifying food textures to meet specific IDDSI framework levels, ensuring meals are safe, nutritious and appropriate for each resident's swallowing ability.
Learn more about IDDSI
The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) is a global framework for standardising food and drink textures to improve safety for individuals with dysphagia (swallowing difficulties, caused by age-related changes, neurological disorders or physical obstructions).
It defines easy to understand levels (0–7) for textures and thickness, from thin liquids (Level 0) to regular foods (Level 7). When catering to IDDSI levels, you can either blend and/or puree meals yourself, to the required thickness or texture, or buy pre-prepared meals.

Texture Modified Ready Meals
Simply Food Solutions is a UK-based specialist in high-quality frozen food, supporting healthcare, catering and foodservice operators with safe, nutritious and great-tasting solutions.
Their offer is structured across three tiers: Simply Puree, providing IDDSI-compliant texture-modified meals; Simply Healthcare, delivering specialist solutions for allergies, intolerances and clinical diets; and Simply Worldfoods, an internationally inspired range designed to add cultural variety and menu choice.
Simply Puree, IDDSI Levels 3 – 6
Simply Puree offers a premium selection of high-quality, texture-modified meals, all prepared to the highest safety standards. Each meal is fully compliant with IDDSI guidelines, covering levels 3 to 6—including Moderately Thick, Extremely Thick/Pureed, Minced and Moist and Soft and Bite-Sized textures.
Designed for convenience, the meals can be cooked directly from frozen with minimal preparation, helping to simplify operations in your kitchen. Each meal is halal certified, and allergen-aware options are available for those looking to reduce allergen risks.
The product range includes breakfast and main meals as well as pureed hot desserts.
Simply Puree believe texture-modified foods should be as visually appealing and flavourful as traditional meals. That’s why every dish is carefully crafted to retain its authentic taste, supporting greater meal satisfaction and encouraging higher consumption at every mealtime.
The Power of Pudding
Often the highlight of someone's day, pudding is a brilliant opportunity to boost calorie intake without compromising on enjoyment.
Warm sponges, pies and crumbles can be enriched with stewed fruits for added fibre, while cream, custard or ice cream make it easy to adjust calorie content to suit individual needs.
Whether making desserts from scratch or serving a quality ready-made product, we have options to suit every requirement and budget.
One Order, Everything Covered
Keeping your care home clean and safe is just as important as what's on the plate.
As part of our own-brand offering, we stock the Professional Supplies range which offers a comprehensive selection of UK-manufactured cleaning chemicals, formulated to meet the rigorous hygiene and infection control demands of care environments.
From everyday surface cleaning to targeted solutions, everything you need is available alongside your food order — one delivery, one invoice, one supplier.
