What is Transitional Food?
Transitional foods, like theEATBar, require minimal chewing and can be used to re-teach chewing skills with Level 5 (Minced-Moist), Level 6 (Soft & Bite-Sized) and Level 7 (Regular) diets, as defined by IDDSI (www.iddsi.org).
Characteristics of the transitional food texture level are:
- Foods that start as one texture but change into another texture when moisture like water or saliva is added or when a change in temperature occurs (eg. when food is heated).
- Biting is not required.
- Minimal chewing is required.
- Tongue pressure can be used to break these foods once the texture has been changed by moisture/saliva or temperature.
- May be used to teach chewing skills.
