Level 3 Liquidised/Texture B Thin Puree
Texture B is a pureed food consistency, which requires no chewing.
It should be a smooth, soft and thick consistency and should contain no lumps or bits. It cannot be eaten with a fork and should drop rather than pour from a spoon, similar to whipped cream or thick custard.
A thickener may be added to foods if they are too runny when pureed.
Level 4 Pureed/Texture C Thick Puree
This refers to food that is a thick smooth consistency which requires no chewing. The food holds its shape when heated and can be eaten with a fork.
Level 5 Minced & Moist/Texture D Pre-Mashed
Texture D is a very soft and moist consistency and if needed can be served coated with a sauce.
It has some variation in texture, similar to flaked fish in thick sauce or stewed apple and thick custard.
Food requires little chewing and can be easily mashed and eaten with a fork.
Level 6 Soft & Bite Sized/Texture E Fork Mashable
Texture E is a food consistency which is soft and moist and can be broken down into pieces with a fork.
It can be made up of solids and thick gravy or sauces.
But don't just take our word for it:
Mid Cheshire Hospital Foundation Trust have been using the “Simply Puree” Texture Modified Meals purchased for approximately 4 Years now. When I recently wanted to improve my Service of Texture Modified Meals to incorporate textures D and E, we arranged a tasting session with myself the dieticians and speech therapists. There is a wide range of meals and textures to cater for all tastes with all of the nutritional information on the individual meals.
The meals offered can be from a soup and dessert, to a snack meal or to a three course texture modified meal which meets our patient’s requirements. I have never received one complaint from a patient with reference to these meals and I would recommend them to anyone.
