Level 4 Puree Audit Sheet
Instructions:
- Level 4 Pureed critical tests include Appearance + Fork Drip Test + Spoon Tilt Test OR if these are not available Finger Test. Chopstick test not appropriate.
- The food item must pass or meet criteria for any row marked ∗.
Notes:
- A puree needs to be able to be put in the mouth and swallowed whole. No chewing and no bolus formation skills should be needed to eat this consistency.
- If you can pick the sample up in your hands and could bite a piece of it (e.g. moulded puree), the sample is not a puree and poses a choking risk.
