When will blending alone not be considered sufficient?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When fibres or lumps may obstruct swallowing or tube flow
Blending may leave resistant fibres, skins, seeds or small lumps. If these could interfere with swallowing or obstruct a feeding tube, the blended food should be strained, sieved or processed further according to the prescribed route and texture. Final inspection is essential because a visually blended food is not automatically safe.
