28+ years manufacturing innovative products dedicated to enhancing the quality of life.

Entrepreneur Bernadette Eriksen is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Flavour Creations, a Brisbane-based $20 million food manufacturing company that researches and develops innovative dysphagia and nutrition products intended to support a healthy lifestyle and improve the lives of thousands living with dysphagia. Flavour Creations supplies to hospitals, residential aged care facilities and directly to consumers living in the community - both in Australia and internationally. What started out as an idea on Bernadette’s kitchen bench in the late 1990’s has become an international success story, after she discovered a gap in the market for providing food and drink solutions that not only taste great but offer maximum nutritional density and enhance quality of life. Flavour Creations is now recognised as a global leader for innovation in the industry, producing more than 100,000 cups of pre-thickened liquid per day alongside a growing range of targeted food first nutritional solutions, employing over 100 staff locally and restoring dignity and independence to thousands of people all over the world. Bernadette was named a Finalist in the Innovation & Technology category at the recent 2016 Brisbane Region Women in Business Awards. She has also been shortlisted in the Commonwealth Bank Business Owner Award, the Nokia Innovation Award and was a finalist in two categories of the 2009 Telstra Business Women’s Awards.

Five years of the Texture Modified Food Awards! 🎉🥂

What a milestone! Our Founder and CEO, Bernadette Eriksen, created the Awards to recognise those who bring joy and dignity to mealtimes for people living with dysphagia.

Five years on, we're celebrating every chef, cook and carer who has shared their creativity with us, from healthcare, hospitality and home care, with dishes inspired by different cultures, traditions and personal stories.

Our favourite part? The stories behind the dishes. A food that's special to a loved one, recreated so they can still enjoy it. 💛

Thank you to everyone who has entered, judged and supported the Awards. Here's to the next five years! Take a look at some of the incredible entries 👇

A huge thank you to in Healthcare for your support over the years. 🧡

Congratulations to Miranda Kam! Winner of the 2026 Texture Modified Food Awards! 🏆

We're thrilled to announce Miranda, a home cook, as our 2026 winner for The Sailor's Embrace, a deeply personal dish dedicated to her late husband Patrick's love of the ocean and 40 years of yacht racing.

Crafted to IDDSI Level 4, her pan-seared scallop purée rests in its natural half-shell with a vibrant carrot coulis, delicate seaweed and a shoreline of 'sand', paired with a chilled b**r to raise a toast to his memory. A beautiful reminder that safety, artistry and dignity can sit on the same plate.

For the first time, our judges awarded two runners-up, as they simply couldn't separate them:

🧁 Kamaljit Kaur, Chef at Ballan, for her Raspberry Cupcake. A celebratory treat rarely seen on the pureed menu.
🍰 Ian Gough, Chef Manager at Elm Grove Care Home (UK), for his Vanilla and Chocolate Battenberg, making him a second-time winner. A great achievement!

Now in their fifth year, the Awards attracted entries from kitchens and homes across Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

To everyone who cooked, created and supported this year's entries, and to our eight expert judges and in Healthcare, thank you!

Stay tuned for details about the 2027 Awards!

This week is National Nutrition Week!

Healthy ageing starts with what’s on the plate. Good nutrition helps maintain strength, energy and independence, and supports quality of life.
But malnutrition doesn’t always show itself. It often builds quietly over time, which is why it can be easily overlooked.

Today is World Cerebral Palsy Day.

Around 1 in 2 people with cerebral palsy experience swallowing difficulties (Speyer et al., 2019), and research shows these difficulties continue into adulthood. Needs can change across a lifetime, so regular speech pathology review matters at every age.

What helps in practice:

- An individual swallowing assessment and a clear IDDSI level
- Drinks prepared at the same consistency every time
- Cups and positioning that support safe, independent drinking

At Flavour Creations, we're proud to support the families, clinicians and support workers who make this happen every day.

What a couple of days at HCL in Birmingham!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat about Argie Wound Care, SCREAMIES and our RTDs. We truely enjoyed every conversation.

A real highlight was hearing Marie Riley OBE, share the latest figures on malnutrition. A powerful reminder of why good nutrition matters and the difference it makes to patient outcomes.

On World Alzheimer’s Day, we’re recognising the role nutrition can play in wound prevention and healing for people living with Alzheimer’s.

As Alzheimer’s progresses, changes in appetite, swallowing, mobility and communication can make it harder to eat and drink well.

Good nutrition supports skin health and the body’s ability to heal, making it an important consideration for people at risk of skin tears, pressure injuries and wounds.

Supporting nutritional needs is one part of providing care that protects health, comfort and dignity.

Is nutrition being overlooked in wound care?

Nutrition plays an important role in wound healing, yet malnutrition remains an often under-recognised and modifiable risk factor for chronic and slow-to-heal wounds.

When the body doesn’t receive enough energy, protein and essential nutrients, it may not have the nutrients needed to support tissue repair and recovery.

Screening for malnutrition risk and referring for appropriate nutrition assessment can help ensure nutritional needs are identified and addressed as part of comprehensive wound care.

Because wound care is about more than the wound. It’s about the whole person.
