According to the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI), a global framework, a Level 2 thickened fluid diet is classified as "Mildly Thick". This dietary modification is designed to help individuals with swallowing difficulties, known as dysphagia, consume liquids more safely. By slowing the flow of liquids, it gives the individual more time and control during swallowing, reducing the risk of aspiration.
