When will blended food still remain unsuitable for a puréed diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When fibres, peels, seeds, or hard particles remain
Blending alone does not guarantee that food is safe for a puréed diet. Fibres, peels, seeds, bones, lumps, or hard fragments may remain and can interfere with oral control or swallowing. A suitable purée should be smooth, moist, cohesive, uniform, and free from such particles, with thickness prescribed according to the patient's assessment.
