Providing variety, choice and positive experienced reduces meal fatigue and contributes to healthy, joyful dining.
Texture modified diets play a vital role in catering to the nutritional needs of aged care residents, who often face heightened risks of malnutrition. Studies indicate that malnutrition prevalence among aged care residents can fluctuate significantly, ranging from 2% to 83%, with unintentional weight loss being a prevalent concern.
Unfortunately, the conventional method of producing pureed nursing home meals tends to compromise the nutritional density of the food, necessitating larger meal volumes to achieve optimal nutrition levels.

We guarantee TCF product consistency, quality and food safety across all our 24 aged care facilities, serving high standard meals for the minced and moist and pureed diets. The visual appearance of a well-presented ‘normal’ meal being a texture modified meal meant aged care residents were no longer embarrassed sitting with others at mealtimes.
Since using your product, it has literally changed the lives of the residents on texture modified foods.
Not only the taste, but the overall presentation of TCF foods is amazing. I serve with the sauce/gravy in jugs on the side, which is poured at the table to enhance the presentation and dining experience.
The ease of use – love the zip lock bags, zero wastage, and minimal preparation time.
Also, Michelle from your office is fantastic. She was so helpful when we first started using your product. Thanks!
At 36 switching to purée food, I am actually enjoying it. The food is even moulded into shapes that represent the food shape which makes me feel better about my life and how to approach my condition.
I can’t thank you all enough for putting so much effort into making the purée meals even look inviting and delicious.
Their effort goes an extremely long way and I appreciate it more than they could ever imagine.
