The “Care Food Bay Area Standard” is the first “Bay Area Standard” in the senior products economy field led by Hong Kong, with The Chinese Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong being one of the key proposing organizations. During the formulation of this standard, CMA Testing, as a third-party inspection agency, was deeply involved and provided comprehensive and clear technical support, contributing its professional expertise to enhancing product quality and food safety.
Benefits of Care Food：
- Enables safe and dignified eating for individuals with swallowing or chewing difficulties
- Improves the unappealing appearance of traditional pureed meals
- Helps users rediscover the joy of eating
- Meets the needs of both patients and caregivers
The widely adopted international standard for texture-modified diets is the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) framework. It classifies food and drink into nine sequential levels: 0 to 7, plus the 7EC (Easy Chew) level. A higher number indicates a texture closer to regular food, which requires greater chewing and swallowing ability.
