Hydra+ Cranberry Juice IDDSI Level 2, 1L Carton

⚡ Quick Answer

Hydra+ Cranberry Juice IDDSI L2 is a 1L pre-thickened cranberry juice at IDDSI Level 2 consistency. Canadian LTC kitchens, hospital dysphagia teams, urology rehab units, and homecare agencies use it for dysphagia residents who previously drank cranberry for UTI risk management. Pre-thickened. Ships Canada-wide from our Calgary hub.

If you're a dietary manager in a Canadian healthcare facility, you already know the problem: residents with dysphagia still need hydration, and cranberry is one of the flavours they actually want. This Hydra+ Cranberry Juice comes pre-thickened to IDDSI Level 2 (mildly thick), ready to pour from the 1L carton. No mixing, no guessing, no variable results from batch to batch. It's the kind of product that can shave labour hours off your day just by eliminating manual thickening — and it keeps hundreds of servings consistent.

Jamie's Take · Senior Operator @ ChickenPieces

"Cranberry is our third-most-requested Hydra+ flavour. An Edmonton LTC dietitian told me: 'I prescribe cranberry on the day-five flavour rotation for residents with chronic UTI risk — it pairs hydration with the cranberry benefit they used to get pre-dysphagia.' 1L carton, IDDSI Level 2, pre-thickened."
