Brakes, the UK’s leading foodservice wholesaler, has launched an innovative range of texture modified meals to meet a growing demand from care and hospital caterers as well as other establishments like schools.
With the pressure on kitchen staff, it can be challenging to provide a range of options to meet all dietary needs, but the latest products from Brakes make it easy for caterers to serve great-tasting meals that meet IDDSI Level Four requirements.
The range includes five meat-based and five vegetarian options. The meat-based products are Chicken Casserole, Shepherd’s Pie, Chilli Con Carne, Fish & Potato Pie, and Beef in Bolognese Sauce, while the vegetarian options are Lentil Bolognese, Vegetable Casserole, Mixed Vegetable Curry, Creamy Cauliflower Florets, and Moroccan Chickpea Stew.
Each box of ten meals – either meat or vegetarian – contains two each of the five different meals, allowing caterers to offer a varied selection for customers who require texture modified meals.
Cathy Amos, Head of Customer Marketing at Brakes, said: “Our new range provides a ready-made solution for caterers who need to serve IDDSI level Four options.
“As well as providing the right products for our customers, we are committed to delivering bespoke support and the Brakes website has lots of resources providing information, free guidance and tutorials on IDDSI and other dietary needs, including a video demonstrating the IDDSI textures.”
