Hormel Thick and Easy Thickened Foods

Thick and Easy offers a higher quality of care, lower food costs, greater patient satisfaction and a marketable difference for your meal program. The critical difference is flavor. With Thick and Easy, you get more flavorful, nutritious, and functional foods in a variety of alternatives. Every product is fortified with protein, calories, vitamins and minerals that will help keep the elderly better nourished. In addition, the innovative packaging ensures maximum convenience and handling ease, both by the resident and the foodservice operator.

A recent national study identified malnourishment as a serious problem among America's elderly population. Whether the person has simply lost their appetite because food no longer tastes good or they are malnourished due to dysphagia or swallowing difficulties, determining the proper food consistency for the individual can be a long and arduous process. Fortunately, Thick and Easy offers "thickened" products that allow the elderly to not only consume products they have lost the ability to consume such as water, juice or even milk, but also enjoy them at the same time. We offer a wide array of texture modified foods and beverages to meet the nutritional needs of the swallowing impaired patient. Thick & Easy also has a powdered food and beverage thickener so that you can thicken the products your patients have grown to love.
