Texture Modified Diets (TMD) also referred to as the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) – these meals are available when specifically prescribed by our speech and language therapy teams. Food is prepared in a special way to create a certain texture or consistency, making it safer to eat for people with swallowing difficulties.
Minced and moist diet, or IDDSI level 5. Food should be able to be easily minced or mashed with a fork. It may be presented as a thick puree with obvious lumps in it. Food should be moist and should easily form into a ball in the mouth.
