Meeting the New Aged Care Standards with texture modified excellence

The Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards coming into effect on 1 November 2025 are putting food and nutrition firmly in the spotlight. For many facilities, Standard 6 – Food and Nutrition represents both a challenge and an opportunity to deliver better outcomes for residents.

This new standard calls for nutritious, appealing and culturally appropriate food that meets residents’ preferences, dietary needs and clinical requirements. For those on dysphagia diets, it’s never been more important to ensure meals are safe, nutritious and enjoyable.

At Textured Concept Foods, we’re here to help.

Our chef- and dietitian-led approach focuses on making real, wholesome and familiar meals accessible to everyone. Our texture modified range is designed to be used with the IDDSI Framework, ensuring safety and consistency across Pureed (PU4), Minced and Moist (MM5) and Soft and Bite-Sized (SB6) levels.

✅ Meals that look, smell, and taste like real food – supporting dignity and appetite
✅ Moulded, portion-controlled options to reduce waste and support consistent nutrition
✅ A wide variety of proteins, vegetables, grains, snacks, and desserts – meeting residents’ preferences and supporting menu variety
✅ Easy to serve: simply defrost, heat, and serve – ideal for busy kitchens facing staffing challenges.

As the new standards come into force, food quality will be central to quality audits and family expectations alike. It’s time to lift the experience for those on texture modified diets – and we’re here to make that easier for you.
