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.
