According to the National Dysphagia Diet framework, a Level 2 soft food diet consists of moist, cohesive, and soft-textured foods that require some chewing before swallowing. This diet is often prescribed for individuals with mild to moderate dysphagia, dental issues, or those recovering from head, neck, or stomach surgery. It is a critical transitional step toward a regular diet, reducing the risk of choking and aspiration.
