IDDSI Framework

The IDDSI Framework is a standardized system that classifies and describes food textures and liquid consistency for people with swallowing challenges. It provides clear levels, from thin liquids to very thick, and soft or pureed foods, helping caregivers and healthcare professionals select appropriate diets to reduce choking risk. The aim is to improve safety, consistency, and quality of life for individuals with swallowing difficulties by ensuring everyone uses the same terminology and standards worldwide.
