We understand your business
Having experience working with cares homes the breath of the country, Sysco Ireland has developed a deep insight into what matters to your business - the opportunities and the challenges you face on a daily basis. With this awareness and understanding, we’ve been able to evolve and tailor our product offerings and solutions to support you in meeting your residents’ needs.
We understand the importance of mealtimes to your residents and your desire to ensure it is a positive and enjoyable experience for all. Through this brochure, we aim to empower you to make well-informed decisions to achieve just that.
We introduce our team of dedicated experts who are here to provide guidance and support.
We also partner with the Irish Nutrition and Dietetic Institute to deliver high-quality, clinically accurate messaging on four medical conditions commonly experienced within care homes, which require special dietary considerations: dysphagia, malnutrition, dementia and type 2 diabetes. While this general information is invaluable, it still remains important to seek clinical guidance from a GP, Dietitian or the appropriate healthcare professional to support the management of each specific case.
We showcase an extensive range of offerings across butchery, seafood, fresh produce, kitchen stables, bakery, and catering supplies to stimulate kitchen inspiration and raise the dining room experience.
We have a strong proven track record of servicing the catering needs of the sector effectively and efficiently, and remain dedicated to caring for your business through on-going collaboration and trusted partnerships.

Dysphagia
Catering for special diets
Dysphagia is a term which refers to swallowing difficulties. It can impact residents’ ability to eat and drink safely, and is commonly associated with underlying conditions including dementia, stroke, and head & neck cancer. If unmanaged, dysphagia may lead to complications including malnutrition, dehydration, and aspiration-related risks.
Texture-modified diets and management of swallowing difficulties
As part of dysphagia management, a Speech and Language Therapist may recommend a texturemodified diet. This can involve recommendations to modify food and fluid consistency, as well as advice for the resident about swallowing techniques and positioning to help reduce possible risk of aspiration.
The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) sets out a globally standardised framework for describing the consistency of modified texture food and liquids. Additionally, guidance on testing methods to confirm the flow or textual characteristics of food and fluids is also provided. At each eating/ drinking occasion, following IDDSI guidelines, the consistency of the food/ drink should be tested and in line with the residents’ individual needs.
Tips for the nutritional management of dysphagia in care homes
• Ensure the catering team know how many residents require a texture-modified diet, IDDSI levels required, and by whom
• Consider skills and equipment needed to produce texture-modified diets suitable to meet the requirements of each resident living with dysphagia e.g. staff upskilling, food processors, blenders
• Optimise presentation; ensure modified meals are visually appealing to residents by serving individual food items separately on the plate
• Check that food and drinks are served at the appropriate temperature
• In addition to checks by catering staff, care staff should also check the texture of modified options as per IDDSI guidance before serving to each resident; texture can change over time, especially if the temperature changes
• Offer a variety of suitable texture meals, snacks and desserts to residents who require a modified texture diet.
The IDDSI Framework
Providing a common terminology for describing food textures and drink thicknesses to improve safety for individuals with swallowing di culties.
Product suggestions for menu creation
This page contains product suggestions which are designed for people with various levels of swallowing difficulties as well as product not specifically designed for this purpose. Dysphagia affects individuals differently and recommendations made by a clinician regarding food and drink consistencies are based on a comprehensive clinical assessment. Always ensure the foods and drinks served are of the appropriate IDDSI level for each resident with dysphagia and follow the advice of a qualified healthcare professional when selecting foods or products.

Malnutrition
Catering for special diets
Malnutrition can present when the body doesn’t get the right balance of nutrients it needs. It can negatively impact a person’s health and wellbeing by contributing to muscle loss, increased frailty, impaired immune function, slower wound healing, higher risk of infection, and reduced ability to recover from illness. Several factors can contribute to malnutrition, including poor appetite, compromised dentition, underlying health conditions, certain medications, and swallowing difficulties.
Signs of malnutrition to look out for in residents:
• Unintentional weight loss (more than 5% body weight within 3 to 6 months)
• Reduced appetite or general lack of interest in food
• Low body weight (body mass index of less than 18.5kg/m2)
• Generalised weakness and fatigue
• Delayed wound healing
• Recurrent illness and prolonged healing time.
The most effective way to identify malnutrition in residents is to undertake regular malnutrition risk screening using a validated tool such as the ‘MUST’ tool.
How to support residents with malnutrition
Enriching a diet with nutrient-dense or energy-dense ingredients – a practice known as food fortification – is commonly used to provide additional nutrients and/or energy without increasing actual food volume.
Examples of
food fortification:
• Addition of 3-4 tablespoons of skimmed milk powder to 1 pint of full fat milk and use to make tea, coffee, milky drinks, desserts, porridge, soups, sauces or add to breakfast cereals
• Addition of full fat grated cheese to hot vegetables, meat dishes and potatoes; or cheese sauces can be poured on meat, chicken, fish or vegetables
• Addition of butter or full fat spreads to foods such as sandwiches, vegetables and potatoes or spread generously on bread, crackers and scones
• Addition of double cream to dishes such as porridge, soups, desserts, curries, stews and casseroles
• Drizzle vegetable oil (e.g. olive oil) over vegetables, pasta or breads
• Addition of nut butters or milled seeds to porridge, rice puddings and curries
• Serve full fat Greek yogurt as a dessert accompaniment or add to porridge, milk-based desserts and curries
• Addition of ground almonds when making biscuits and cakes or as a topping on breakfast cereals and porridge.
Nutritious snacks
Ensuring nutritious snacks and drinks are available throughout the day may also help boost nutritional intake, especially among residents with smaller appetites. Nutritious drinks support meeting both nutrition and hydration needs.
Examples include:
• Full fat cheese and crackers
• Full fat yogurt or full fat yogurt with fruit
• Custard or rice pudding
• Egg-based snack e.g. French toast, hard-boiled egg
• Scone with butter and jam
• Small sandwich or toast with pate/ nut butter
• Breakfast cereal with full fat milk
• Milk-based drinks e.g. hot chocolate, warm milk, milky coffee
• Smoothies made with full fat milk/ full fat yoghurt
Food fortification should be personalised to each resident’s needs and preferences, and should complement their eating behaviours, abilities, and any additional requirements.

Type 2 Diabetes
Catering for special diets
Type 2 diabetes is a medical condition where the body is no longer able to respond appropriately to increasing levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Over time, poorly controlled diabetes can result in damage to the eyes, kidneys and nerves, as well as contributing to increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
A healthy diet and regular physical activity are typically recommended as part of type 2 diabetes management.
Tips for residents with type 2 diabetes:
Maintain a regular meal pattern where possible; aiming for at least 3 main meals to help keep blood sugar levels stable
Include a similar sized portion of a starch-based food such as cereal, rice or pasta at each meal
Select wholegrain/ wholewheat varieties of carbohydrates where possible, e.g. wholemeal bread, wholewheat pasta, wholegrain rice
Aim for a balanced approach with carbohydrates, protein and a source of healthy fats
Reduce salt consumption; avoid adding salt to meals or in cooking, try flavouring with pepper, herbs and spices instead
Avoid sugary drinks or adding sugar to food and drinks; small amount of sugary food is permitted and should be kept to special occasions
Stay hydrated: women should aim to drink 6–8 glasses of fluids every day and men should aim for 8–10 glasses. Drinks such as water, no added sugar squash/ cordial, tea and coffee all count.
Type
2
diabetes and care home residents
It is important to note, in care home settings residents may also experience other health conditions such as malnutrition or frailty, making individualized care plans essential. In such residents, Dietitians, working alongside other healthcare professionals within a multidisciplinary team, are best positioned to determine nutritional priorities, requirements, and appropriate supports.

Bakery & Patisserie
From premium morning pastries, to decadent tray bakes and gateaux, to convenient frozen breads – our Patisserie and Bakery portfolio offers an extensive and versatile product range. Our bakery essentials – including flour, chocolate, fruit coulis, nuts, seeds, sugars – supports in-house baking, while ready-to-fill tart shells, quiches and vol-au-vents and bakery ready mixes brings simplicity and efficiency to your kitchen.
Through the nature of our product offerings, we continue to help you address key challenges such as food waste and labour cost – for example, frozen breads allow you to prepare and track the exact amounts required for each eating occasion, while pre-prepared options may contribute to a reduction in labour costs.
We source our range from many Artisan and small Irish bakery and confectionery suppliers as well as several leading European bakery partners for breads and pastries bringing you choice and on-trend solutions.
