Made by Kent Precision Foods, this puree delivers 120 calories per serving and is shelf-stable for extended storage, available as a single can or a full case of 12 for ongoing use in dining service settings.

Equipment Specialist Insight: A real dessert flavor is easy to overlook on a texture-modified menu built mostly around entrées, but it matters — dessert is often the meal component people look forward to most, and a caramel apple pie option gives that back in a fully pureed, IDDSI Level 4 form. Level 4 is thicker than the Level 2 entrée purees in our Thick & Easy line, so don't substitute one for the other; confirm the individual's prescribed IDDSI level before choosing between products. The "may be shaped and frozen" versatility some Thick-It purees offer can also make this useful for molded, visually appealing dessert presentations, not just a scoop from the can.

Q: What does IDDSI Level 4 mean, and how is it different from Level 2?
A: IDDSI (the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative) classifies food and drink textures on a numbered scale. Level 4, Extremely Thick/Pureed, is a food-only level — it holds its own shape on a spoon, doesn't require chewing, and doesn't separate into liquid, even when tilted. That's thicker and more solid than a Level 2 (Mildly Thick) puree, which still pours and flows. Always confirm the individual's prescribed level with their care team rather than assuming one product's level fits every need.
Q: How do I prepare it?
A: It's ready to use straight from the can — heat it in a steamer, microwave, or saucepan to about 160°F and serve, or serve chilled per your preference. Refrigerate any unused portion in a separate container after opening.
Q: Single can or case of 12?
A: A single can suits trying the flavor or occasional use. The case of 12 is the practical choice for ongoing dessert service, offering roughly 60 total servings at 1/3 cup each without frequent reordering.
