Designed for healthcare professionals

SeniorDeli is Hong Kong's leading care food brand, focused on IDDSI-aligned texture-modified foods for people living with dysphagia. We know healthcare professionals need a reliable product partner in clinical practice — this hub is built for you.

Whether you are a speech therapist matching patients to the right IDDSI level, a dietitian planning nutritionally complete soft meal menus, or an institution leader rolling out a standardised care food programme, SeniorDeli offers end-to-end support.

Fully IDDSI compliant

IDDSI-aligned practice

200+ institutional clients (GBA)

Professional training included

Product mapping by IDDSI level

Match the IDDSI level recommended by the speech therapist to the right SeniorDeli product. The guide below shows the IDDSI range each product covers and where it fits in your clinical workflow.

Level 1-4

Clear Thickener

Adjust drink thickness by dosage, from slightly thick (Level 1) to extremely thick (Level 4). The result is crystal-clear and non-starch-based, leaving the colour and mouthfeel of the original drink intact. Independent testing confirms milk reaches Level 3 in just 5 minutes — the fastest of any product in its category.

Common use cases:

  • Thickening drinks before tube feeding
  • Preparing between-meal beverages to a specific texture
  • Matching the speech therapist's prescribed thickness level

Level 3-5

Food Moulding Powder

Shapes pureed foods into distinct forms and textures, suitable from Level 3 liquidised to Level 5 minced & moist. Use with moulds to plate visually appealing soft meals that boost patient appetite.

Common use cases:

  • Bulk soft meal production in institutional kitchens
  • Lifting the visual appeal of pureed meals
  • Menu planning for specific IDDSI levels

Level 4-5

Cold Gellant

Designed for pureed and minced & moist textures. Mix the ingredient with the powder in the recommended ratio to produce meals that meet IDDSI Level 4 to Level 5. Simple to use and built for high-volume institutional kitchens.

Common use cases:

  • Daily soft meals at residential care homes
  • Standardised meals for hospital nutrition departments
  • Lunch service at community day centres

Level 5+

Food Softener

Uses freeze-thaw immersion + enzyme technology to reduce the hardness of whole ingredients (meat, vegetables, root vegetables) to 40-50% of the original — meeting Level 5 minced & moist or above. Retains 90% vitamins, 70% fibre, and 95% protein.

Common use cases:

  • Home caregivers preparing soft meals
  • Institutional kitchens processing whole ingredients
  • Use within the appearance-preserved soft meal workflow

* The above are general recommendations. Final IDDSI level and product selection should follow the speech therapist's professional advice. Reach out to our team if you have any questions.

IDDSI compliance documentation & research partnerships

SeniorDeli is committed to IDDSI-aligned operational practice. We maintain long-term research collaborations with leading academic and clinical institutions to validate the real-world impact of care foods on people living with dysphagia.

HKU Swallowing Research Institute

Long-term collaboration with director Prof. Karen Chan on clinical validation of care foods and swallowing function research. Findings provide the scientific basis for SeniorDeli's IDDSI compliance and clinical safety.

Clinical research at Kowloon Blind Association (KBIA)

On-site, longitudinal clinical tracking inside the residential care home, systematically capturing the impact of care foods on residents' nutritional intake, daily food consumption, weight, and overall quality of life — providing real-world evidence of clinical effectiveness.

Institutional workshop partnerships

We work with Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs), Caritas, and Lingnan University's Jockey Club Gerontechnology Lab (LingU GeronLab) to deliver soft meal preparation training and IDDSI education workshops for frontline care staff and caregivers.

CIIF community education project

Funded by the Community Investment and Inclusion Fund (CIIF), we run district-level dysphagia awareness and care food education programmes — reaching thousands of seniors and their families and lifting public awareness of dysphagia and care food adoption.

Clinical significance of texture-modified diets

  • Research confirms that IDDSI-compliant texture-modified diets effectively reduce the risk of aspiration pneumonia
  • Appearance-preserved soft meals significantly increase food intake and mealtime engagement compared with pureed meals
  • High nutrient retention in care foods helps address malnutrition in older adults
  • Standardised texture grading enables more accurate communication across the multidisciplinary team (speech therapists, dietitians, care staff)
  • SeniorDeli led the drafting of T/SATA 084-2025 and T/SATA 085-2025 — two Greater Bay Area elder-friendly food standards setting a science-based quality benchmark for the industry
