SOFTER FOODS
Flavours you love, in the texture you need.
At Wiltshire Farm Foods, we believe everyone should look forward to a tasty and appetising meal, even with a swallowing difficulty. That’s why we are so proud of our world-leading Softer Foods menu which includes meals across three different textures to help those living with chewing or swallowing difficulties eat with ease and confidence.
Whether it is comforting classics or flavours from around the world, you'll find all your most loved meals from our Purée, Minced and Soft & Bite-Sized menus. Keep your freezer stocked, then simply pop whatever you fancy in the microwave or oven from frozen. Quality ingredients, fantastic flavours and perfect textures made with care.


Our Softer Foods range is available in three different textures:



Level 4 - Purée Meals
Our range of Level 4 meals are perfectly puréed, filled with flavour and accompanied by delicious gravies and sauces.



Level 5 - Minced Meals
Our range of Level 5 meals are a smooth, minced texture. Filled with flavour, meals are accompanied by sides that taste just as good as the main.



Level 6 - Soft & Bite-Sized
Our range of Level 6 meals are soft and tender. With perfect pies and delicious gravies and sauces, there are options for everyone.
Our texture-modified meals provide a range of benefits including...
Safer swallowing for those with swallowing difficulties
Our meals are made in line with the latest IDDSI guidance for texture-modified meals, ensuring that they meet a safe consistency for those requiring a Softer Foods diet. Despite best efforts, it can be challenging to achieve the right food consistency at home, therefore our ready-prepared meals make for a safer alternative.
If you have swallowing difficulties and are unsure of which level you need then please seek medical advice, a Speech and Language Therapist will be able to diagnose the appropriate texture level for you.
