Made by Clinicians: No.5 of the Slõ Six – Why We Put IDDSI Levels on Every Pack

28 April 2025


Living with dysphagia, knowing what’s safe to eat or drink is essential. That includes knowing the IDDSI Level of every drink or nutritional supplement you’re given. But believe it or not, some thickened drinks and powders don’t tell you the Level on the pack.

That means carers, family members—or you—have to guess whether it’s right. And when you’re trying to avoid choking or aspiration, guessing isn’t good enough.

At Slõ, we do things differently.

Our drinks are developed with the help of Speech and Language Therapists and Dietitians who understand how important safety is. That’s why every sachet of Slõ Milkshake+ clearly shows the IDDSI Level (Level 1) on the front—no guesswork, no confusion.

We also include pictorial instructions, so it’s clear how to make each drink safely. Whether you’re preparing them yourself or someone’s doing it for you, you can be confident it’s made the right way.

What makes a Slõ Milkshake+ different:

– It’s pre-thickened to flow at Level 1—safe for many people with dysphagia
– It’s a real milkshake made with cold milk and natural flavourings
– It’s high in nutrition: 23g+ protein, 399 calories, and 25 vitamins and minerals
