Understanding your texture level

Not everyone needs the same level of texture modification, so it helps to know the difference before you order. ^*

Minced and moist (Level 5)

Food is minced into small, soft pieces and moistened so it holds together, needing minimal chewing. Good for people who can manage some chewing but need extra softness and moisture.

Puréed (Level 4)

Food is completely smooth, with no lumps, and can be eaten with a spoon without any chewing at all. Suited to people who need the highest level of texture modification.

What about soft chew?

Soft chew is a separate, existing option across our regular menu, for people who can chew but prefer a softer meal. It doesn't need to be minced or puréed, and it sits outside the Soft & Easy range. If soft chew sounds right for you, our team can point you to the meals suited to it.

_{Please consult with your health practitioner to understand which texture level is safest for you.}

Moulded for appetite appeal

Soft & Easy meals are moulded to look like the meal they're meant to be. Bringing back a plate that looks familiar can help stimulate appetite, support social connection at mealtimes, and restore a sense of dignity and normalcy to eating.
