IDDSI

The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative

A global initiative designed to improve the lives of almost six hundred million people living with dysphagia worldwide. While the IDDSI does not endorse or provide certification of products, the standardisation levels are used to guide clients around options to safely eat and drink dependent on their dysphagia presentation.

Simply Modified fosters the use of these standardisation terms and is aligned with the current international texture modifications. To provide clarity on your dysphagia journey, the meals within Simply Modified have been categorised into easy-to-chew, soft and bite-sized, minced and moist, and pureed, making each recipe suitable for use with the IDDSI testing protocols.

Easy to chew - IDDSI level 7

Soft and bite sized - IDDSI level 6

Minced and moist - IDDSI level 5

Pureed - IDDSI level 4
