Bringing Joy Back to Dining

Created by Bernadette Eriksen, founder of Flavour Creations and global leader in dysphagia nutrition

For more than a decade, Shape It has helped turn pureed food into familiar, appetising meals for people living with dysphagia.

Founded by Bernadette Eriksen, founder of Flavour Creations and global leader in dysphagia nutrition, Shape It was created to bring dignity, joy and inclusion back to the dining table—so everyone can enjoy mealtimes.

Shape It supporting 1 Million Australians

Restoring the joy of eating for the one million Australians living with dysphagia

Shape It is an innovative shaping solution that transforms texture modified meals into food that looks, smells, and tastes just like the original — restoring the joy of eating for the one million Australians living with dysphagia.

We believe mealtimes should be moments of connection — with family, culture, and tradition. Whether it’s a Sunday roast, a backyard BBQ, or Christmas lunch, everyone deserves to be part of the occasion.

At its heart, dysphagia is not just a medical condition — it's a social condition. It can impact dignity, confidence, and quality of life.

Our Mission

Our mission is to improve dining experiences for people with dysphagia through appetising, delicious, and safe meals that meet individual preferences.

Backed by Science

Grounded in science and guided by compassion.
Shape It recipes are thoughtfully developed to meet the IDDSI standards, ensuring safe texture-modified meals that supports nutrition and wellbeing.

Dignity of Choice

Empowering individuals through personalisation.
Everyone deserves food that looks appealing, tastes delicious, and honours their preferences and values. Shape It ensures food is something to look forward to.

Joy at Mealtimes

Food is at the heart of the dining experience.
Mealtime is more than ambiance and good conversation. Shape It, makes meals that invite people to eat — turning everyday moments into joyful, shared experiences.

Sustainability Matters

Reducing waste with freshly prepared meals.
Shape It supports sustainable kitchens by enabling fresh meals to be portioned and stored in the fridge or freezer.

It’s a smarter way to serve: less waste, more flexibility, and better outcomes for people and the planet.

“At Shape It, we believe food is more than nutrition. It’s connection. It’s joy. Once you’ve tried Shape It, you will love it.”

Bernadette Eriksen,
Creator of Shape It

You Decide

Both meals are IDDSI Level 4 Pureed. Same ingredients. Same nutrition. One looks like mashed food. The other looks like a meal worth sitting down for.

Shape It brings dignity, appetite, and joy back to the table through appealing presentation.

Research shows that visual appeal matters

When texture-modified meals are moulded to resemble foods people recognise, intake improves significantly from under 25% to more than 75% of meals.

Spot the Difference

One meal is IDDSI Level 4 Pureed, the other is regular texture - but both look equally delicious. Shape It helps people feel included at the table, not isolated by what’s on their plate.
