So Simple

apetito appreciate that diet is a key part in the management of many commonly occurring medical conditions. For this reason clients, both those living at home and those in hospital may need access to specialised diets as part of their ongoing medical treatment.

Some clients - for example those with renal problems or liver disease - may need a diet low in particular nutrients such as sodium, phosphate or potassium. Others require a diet they can be sure is free from ingredients to which they are intolerant such as tyramine, milk, eggs or gluten.

Despite these dietary restrictions clients also need meals which are attractive, tasty and meet their nutritional needs.

Combining our own dietetic knowledge with that of other specialist dietitians within the NHS has enabled apetito to develop the So Simple range. These nutritious and appetising meals can be enjoyed by customers with a variety of dietary restrictions.

This range of complete individual meals has been developed to provide the following nutritional standards:

• GREATER THAN 19G PROTEIN
• LESS THAN 150MG SODIUM
• LESS THAN 700MG POTASSIUM
• LESS THAN 360MG PHOSPHOROUS

Typically meals contain 75g meat or 100g fish served in a freshly produced stock which is made entirely without salt and flavoured with herbs and vegetables. All potatoes have been double boiled to reduce levels of potassium. Rice and pasta are offered in some meals as alternative forms of carbohydrate to enhance variety.

The So Simple Range has been:

• PREPARED USING THE FINEST INGREDIENTS
• UNIQUELY DEVELOPED BY EXPERIENCED CHEFS
• DESIGNED TO MEET THE REQUIRMENTS FOR A RANGE OF ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS

Each individual complete meal comes with potatoes, rice or pasta and two types of vegetables and is served in a 3 compartment PET tray.

The So Simple Range may be useful as an emergency meal for a range of special diets until the client’s precise dietary requirements can be established. We recommend that they are offered to patients under the supervision of the Healthcare team and after consultation with your own or Trust dietician but may be suitable for the following special dietary needs

• STRICT RENAL DIETS
• MAOI DIETS
• NEUTROPENIC DIETS
• DAIRY FREE DIETS*
• GLUTEN FREE DIETS*
• EGG FREE DIETS
