Innovation with purpose: making mealtimes safer, simpler and more satisfying

 

At Textured Concept Foods (TCF), innovation is driven by one purpose: to make every mealtime safer, simpler and more satisfying for people living with dysphagia. As we head into 2026, we’re proud to unveil three major product advancements designed to support healthcare foodservice teams, aged care providers and home users with even greater convenience, consistency and choice.

Soft & Bite-Sized Proteins and Vegetables (Level 6) – Bulk Packs

Our new Soft & Bite-Sized (Level 6) Proteins and Vegetables offer unmatched flexibility for menu planning. Available in easy to store 1kg resealable bulk packs, the range includes four slow-cooked proteins — Beef, Chicken, Lamb and Pork — and five wholesome vegetables — Broccoli, Carrot, Cauliflower, Pumpkin and Sweet Potato.

Each meets IDDSI Level 6 standards, delivering reliable texture, excellent flavour and strong nutritional value. These bulk packs help reduce preparation time and support facilities in delivering safe, appealing meals that encourage better intake.

Moderately Thick (Level 3) Sauce & Gravy Range

We’re also excited to introduce our new Moderately Thick (Level 3) Sauce & Gravy Range created to enhance moisture, flavour and visual appeal across all IDDSI levels.

Available in six classic varieties — Classic Gravy, Onion Gravy, Mint Gravy, Mushroom Sauce Neapoli Sauce and White Sauce — these 1kg resealable bags ensure quick, consistent plating with minimal waste.

Pre-Plated Meal (PPM) Collection (Level 4 & Level 5)

For ultimate convenience, our Pre-Plated Meal Collection in Pureed (Level 4) and Minced & Moist (Level 5) textures offers a complete heat and serve solution.

Each meal features a balanced combination of protein, vegetables and one of our new sauces or gravies sealed on a microwave safe, recyclable plate. Just defrost, heat and serve — no replating required and no dishes to wash.

This offers enormous benefits for both large healthcare facilities and home users, saving valuable time, reducing labour demands and ensuring consistent IDDSI alignment at every meal.

With no mess and no washing up, PPMs make safe, high quality dysphagia dining easier than ever.

As we move into 2026, TCF remains committed to supporting the sector with innovations that strengthen safety, reduce waste, streamline workflows and enhance the dining experience — because at Textured Concept Foods, every bite matters.
