Bread is a universal food, found at most breakfast, lunch and or dinner tables. Yet, for those with dysphagia, bread must have a specific consistency to be safe for consumption.

" We know that food is more than a necessity—it is a central part of our daily lives," said Tim Garry, a registered dietitian and director of marketing for Hormel Health Labs. "Our Thick & Easy® Texture-Modified Bread and Dessert Mix offers people with dysphagia a way to enjoy great-tasting bread and desserts with delight and comfort. It's the latest way we are providing needed nutrition through products that are tasty, convenient and familiar."

Dysphagia is not uncommon, affecting up to 40 percent of those in skilled nursing facilities, and many others. Hormel Health Labs has made it a priority to create nutritional products that make dining easier for those challenged by dysphagia, and THICK & EASY® TEXTURE MODIFIED BREAD AND DESSERT MIX is its latest solution.

THICK & EASY® TEXTURE MODIFIED BREAD AND DESSERT MIX comes in pre-made loafs equaling 16 slices per loaf. With easy preparation instructions, it can be served timely and efficiently, while adding extra variety to diets.
