Coffee sticks launched for dysphagia sufferers
Dysphagia, the medical term used to describe difficulty swallowing, affects 1 in 25 adults but can occur in any age group.

The launch is the latest in a line of more than 250 products from Hormel Health Labs specifically designed for those who have difficulty swallowing.

The coffee sticks introduce an improved swallowing agent thickened with xanthan gum to traditional products thickened with starches, which can be more problematic. The product is also decaffeinated to help individuals avoid dehydration.

The coffee sticks are available in two consistencies to meet individual dietary needs; IDDSI level 3 consistency which is moderately thick, and IDDSI level 2 consistency which is mildly thick.
