Description

Flavour Creations offers a unique solution for individuals with dysphagia through their innovative orange juice, formulated to meet IDDSI Level 4 standards. This extremely thick beverage is designed with a pudding-like consistency, ensuring safe and enjoyable consumption for those with swallowing difficulties.

Key Features

• Consistency and Texture: The juice holds a smooth, lump-free texture that maintains its shape on a spoon, making it ideal for those who cannot consume liquids from a cup or straw. It is intended to be eaten with a spoon, providing a cohesive and manageable form.

• IDDSI Compliance: Fully compliant with IDDSI Level 4, the product passes both the Fork Drip Test and Spoon Tilt Test. It remains amylase resistant and retains its consistency across temperatures ranging from 4–10°C.

Packaging

The juice is packaged in a specially designed 175 mL Dysphagia Cup, featuring a sloped rim, easy-peel lid, and textured sides for enhanced grip. This award-winning design promotes safer handling and hydration, making it accessible for both adults and paediatrics, under appropriate dietary supervision.

It is free from gluten, nuts, soy, dairy, and lactose, and contains no artificial colours or flavours.
