Dietitian: “Is this ONS suitable for my patients with dysphagia?”
Rep: “Yes.”
Dietitian: “Where’s the Level?”
Rep: “We don’t print it on the packaging, but they’re fine.”
Dietitian: “Isn’t knowing the Level critical to preventing aspiration?”
Rep: “Errr… yes.”

It’s a conversation we’ve heard too many times. Some powdered ONS brands claim to be suitable for IDDSI Level 1, but instead of printing the Level on their packaging, they print pages of preparation caveats—and expect clinicians to take their word for it.

At Slõ, we think clinicians and patients – deserve better.

That’s why every detail of our drink development is guided by Speech and Language Therapists and Dietitians, right down to the packaging. You’ll find the IDDSI Level on thickened drinks clearly printed on the front of every Slõ Milkshake+ sachet, with pictorial instructions that are easy to follow and trust.

When a patient is discharged with dysphagia, the last thing you want to worry about is whether the ONS you’ve prescribed will match the Level prescribed.

With Slõ Milkshake+, you can prescribe with confidence, knowing they’re pre-thickened to IDDSI Level 1—no guesswork, no mixing errors, no wondering.

Dietitian: “Where’s the Level?”
Us: “On the front of every sachet—BIG and bold.”

Slõ Milkshake+ are the only powdered ONS with Level 1 clearly printed on the pack. It’s listed on all e-prescribing systems and fully compliant with national guidance for patients with dysphagia. We print the IDDSI Level on our thickened drinks.
