As global populations age, there is a growing need for safer and more attractive food options for those suffering from dysphagia. However, progress in this sector is being stalled by significant hurdles.

According to FoodNavigator Asia, gaps in research and empathy are hindering innovation. A lack of awareness regarding food safety and the specific needs of seniors means that many available options fail to be truly appealing.
