Hormel Health Labs is widely recognized as the worldwide leader for dysphagia products, offering their THICK & EASY® product lines as well as hundreds of other products designed for people going through treatments or recovering from illness.
We share a common goal of providing education and helping to improve care to those suffering from dyshpagia. Partnering with Becky Dorner & Associates to sponsor several webinars on the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) has helped Hormel Health Labs get its name in front of their key audiences: registered dietitian nutritionists, nutrition and dietetic technicians, registered, food and nutrition service directors, nurses, physicians and facility administrators who all play key roles in providing quality dysphagia care.
