All products were prepared strictly according to manufacturer package directions and heated using Burlodge rethermalization equipment, convection ovens, or microwaves, as applicable, in both bulk and plated service formats. IDDSI compliance is dependent on preparation method, equipment, and service conditions.

Products were assessed for adult populations against IDDSI Levels 7 (Regular), 6 (Soft & Bite-Sized), 5 (Minced & Moist), and 4 (Pureed). Hot egg products were heated to a minimum internal temperature of ≥165°F (74 °C) prior to testing. Hard-boiled, peeled eggs intended for cold service were tested at ≤4°C (40 °F).

Where required, products were modified post-heating (e.g., chopping, mincing, pureeing, or moisture adjustment) to achieve the target IDDSI level. Texture stability was evaluated at service temperature and re-assessed at 15 and 30 minutes post-service.

Foodservice operators are responsible for verifying IDDSI texture compliance at the point of service. Burnbrae Farms remains committed to ongoing IDDSI testing to support safe, varied, and high-quality meal options for healthcare and senior living communities.
