NuBlend creates blended food that is shelf-stable for 24 months without any addition of chemical preservatives. The formula has been designed to combine natural ingredients, high-quality proteins and omega 3-containing fatty acids without added sugar to meet specific nutritional requirements and is intended for individuals suffering from chewing and swallowing difficulties or showing decreased consciousness. The innovative formula won't aggregate during the sterilisation process, giving appropriate food texture and flow ability in a feeding tube.
