The Monash University Dietetics Student Research 2012 found three key benefits of using quality, value-added texture modified food.
How do you save time and money in my commercial kitchen?
We transform the way your kitchen manages texture modified meals.
One of the key time savings for commercial kitchens is the significant reduction in labour. Key labour savings include:
Today with all the IDDSI textures, kitchens are asked to provide three different texture modified foods which can be labour intensive and hard to get it right all of the time.

How can you assist in creating a well-designed menu?
A well-designed menu has choice, variety and colour. When designing a menu for texture modified diets, choice and variety are often forgotten – colours tend to be brown, white, orange and green and there’s a tendency to have only one choice available.

TCF protein products are designed to canvass your flavours to match the main menu. You can use a sauce that matches your standard menu or use one of our specialty made sauces.
We also offer an extensive range of vegetables and vegetarian options.
And don’t forget about our desserts! Garnish with cream, custard, coulis or yoghurt. Diners enjoy having more than custard, yoghurt, fruit puree, mousse and panna cotta for dessert.
It’s super easy to supplement an alternative from our product range. We can provide additional services to help you customise your menu. Have a chat with our dietitian for more information – Lisa@texturedconceptfoods.com.au

Do you use locally sourced ingredients in your food products?
As an Australian-owned business operating from Victoria and supplying across Australia, we manufacture our products using locally sourced Australian ingredients.
We choose to use fresh and natural ingredients in our products so when our home-cooked meals are snap frozen they’ve locked in the goodness and nutrition you’d expect from a superior value-added product.
Our free-range eggs, 90% of our meats, and most of our vegetables are sourced from Victorian suppliers. For products we cannot source locally, we trust and use Australian produce.
