Tag: Bite sized foods

According to the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI), a Stage 6 soft diet is for individuals who can chew soft, bite-sized foods but cannot safely manage foods of a regular consistency. It is a controlled diet designed to mitigate the risk of choking and aspiration for those with specific chewing or swallowing challenges.

The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) has established a global framework with eight levels to define food textures and drink thickness. Level 6 foods are specifically categorized as 'Soft and Bite-Sized' and are designed for individuals who have difficulty biting but can chew soft, pre-cut pieces.
