Hydra+ Thickened Orange Juice IDDSI 2 for Canadian food service
Hydra+ Thickened Orange Juice IDDSI 2 is a 1L pre-thickened orange juice at IDDSI Level 2 (mildly thick). Hospitals, LTC breakfast programs, rehab clinics, and homecare agencies pour it straight from the carton onto dysphagia trays. Stocked and shipped from our Calgary warehouse to anywhere in Canada.
When your dietary aides are prepping 200 dysphagia trays before 7am, mixing thickener into orange juice one cup at a time is the worst job on the line. Hydra+ IDDSI 2 ships pre-thickened in 1L Tetra Paks, so you shake, pour, and move on. Hospitals, LTC homes, and rehab clinics across Canada keep it on the breakfast cart for exactly that reason.
Hydra+ Thickened Orange Juice 1 Liter IDDSI 2: ready-to-pour for dysphagia programs
It's a 1L Tetra Pak of orange and apple juice, pre-thickened to IDDSI Level 2 (mildly thick) so it pours the same way every single time. No mixing, no xanthan, no bedside flow test at 6am. The flavour reads orange-forward, which matters because dysphagia patients get bored of water fast.
We stock it at our Calgary warehouse and ship to all 10 provinces and 3 territories. Most orders land in 2-5 business days.
"We supply this version of Hydra+ Orange Juice IDDSI 2 to a different sales channel same exact product as 13203. Hospital cancer wards, LTC homes, rehab clinics across Canada. One Toronto dietitian told me: 'My residents drink orange juice on swallowing-safe trays because the Hydra+ texture is consistent every time.'"
That's the whole pitch in one line: consistency. Every 1L carton hits the same viscosity out of the box, which is why dietitians spec it instead of trusting kitchen-made thickened juice.
