Hydra+ Thickened Orange Juice IDDSI 3 1L for Canadian Food Service

⚡ Quick Answer

Hydra+ Thickened Orange Juice IDDSI 3 is a 1L pre-thickened orange juice at IDDSI Level 3 (moderately thick) consistency. Canadian hospital dysphagia teams, rehab clinics, and LTC homes use it for residents on Level 3 protocols where in-house thickening would be inconsistent. Ships Canada-wide from our Calgary hub.

When you're managing fluid intake for patients with swallowing difficulties, consistency is everything. Hydra+ Thickened Orange Juice IDDSI 3 in a 1L Tetra Pak gives Canadian operators a reliable, moderately thick solution and takes the daily guesswork out of in-house thickening. This fortified juice helps care facilities maintain consistent hydration protocols, and it can cut dehydration-related readmissions by providing a safe, palatable option for residents who need IDDSI Level 3 liquids, like post-stroke rehab patients.

Hydra+ Thickened Orange Juice IDDSI 3 1L/33.81oz — Professional Grade for Canadian Food Service

This Hydra+ thickened orange juice is made to IDDSI Level 3 (moderately thick) standards, so it's a professional-grade option for controlled fluid intake. Hospital kitchens and long-term care facilities use it when precision in dysphagia management saves staff time and keeps patients safe. The natural orange and apple flavours, fortified with Vitamin C, deliver a taste people actually want to drink, which helps with daily oral hydration for those who need it most.

Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Delivered Canada-wide all 10 provinces and 3 territories in 2-5 business days.

Operator Tip: Always reseal the Tetra Pak properly after each use to keep the IDDSI Level 3 consistency and avoid contamination. Serve chilled for best patient acceptance.

Jamie's Take · Senior Operator @ ChickenPieces

"Hydra+ Thickened Orange Juice IDDSI 3 covers the moderate-thick end of the citrus rotation. We ship to hospital rehab units and LTC homes with advanced-needs residents. One Toronto dietitian: 'Orange juice at L3 is harder to thicken in-house and stay consistent. Hydra+ saves us that daily compliance check.'"
