Shaped Puree
apetito HFS Shaped Purée
Everyone deserves an enjoyable meal. We also understand that a meal's appearance plays a vital role in the perception of flavour and appetite appeal. Our innovative shaped puree products offer the consistent guarantee of a satisfying dining experience from plate to palette. Not only does every recipe taste delicious, but the portions are formed to appear exactly as the actual food would, in shape and colour even after cooking.
How our Shaped Purée can help
The appearance of our Shaped Purée range will play a key role in encouraging patients and residents to eat more, thus supporting the meeting of their daily nutritional requirements.
The apetito Shaped Purée range was researched and developed in conjunction with Speech & Language Pathologists and Clinical Dieticians. This process has ensured that each recipe is appropriate in texture and nutritional context for people with swallowing difficulties linked to conditions such as dementia and strokes. Using the apetito Shaped Purée range ensures safe and consistent texture every time, thus allowing confidence that patients on a Puréed diet will enjoy the same benefits as those on a texture-regular diet.

The apetito Shaped Purée range can be easily heated their trays via convection oven, steamer or stove top or pre-plated and heated in a microwave or similar retherm system. apetito's unique tray design provides the ability to only heat what is required, thus eliminating food waste and correlating costs.
