What is meant by mechanically altered?
Diets that have been mechanically adjusted often include items that can be securely and effectively ingested. Foods are mechanically changed so they are simple to chew and swallow by whipping, mixing, grinding, cutting, or mashing.
A texture-modified food called a mechanical soft diet is for persons who have trouble chewing and swallowing. To make eating safer, foods might be blended, ground, finely diced, or pureed.
Foods you can eat:
- Pureed breads (also called pre-gelled breads)
- Cooked cereals with little texture, such as oatmeal, or slightly moistened dry cereals with little texture, such as corn flakes.
- Smooth puddings, custards, yogurts, and pureed desserts.
