Flavor fit is unique. Do you have a favorite song? You know the one that makes your day if you hear it on the radio. Now think, what about that particular song that makes it your favorite? Is it the lyrics, the beat, the emotion it evokes, or all the above?
Just like your taste in music is unique to your experiences and how you interpret the world. hen it comes to flavors, the one you decide to be your favorite depends on a variety of factors unique to you.
When you or a loved one is on a severely restricted diet due to food allergies or related conditions, limited options in the diet can make finding a favorite flavor a bit difficult. At Nutricia, we are constantly working to help you explore new ways to make meal time interesting and provide access to ways you can experience new flavors. Our family of products provides more inviting flavor and texture options than anyone else. We talk to families and parents every day for whom Neocate® is the sole or primary source of nutrition for a loved one, and for many of them the flavor and form options offered by Neocate has made a difference!
Here’s why having options to find your “flavor fit” is important:
Taste is personal and unique to every person
Taste preferences are strongly influenced by innate factors and can be changed by experience. Natural preferences for various flavors change developmentally as infants and children grow. The preferences for specific flavors are determined by innate/inborn factors, environmental influences, learnings, and a combination of these factors; making each individual unique.
Flavor Options Help Influence Preferences
Experiences and exposure to various flavors and textures help to shape preferences as children grow, and we at Nutricia are striving to offer opportunities for those on elemental, or amino acid-based, diets gain such experiences. Did you know Neocate is the only amino acid-based formula available with 10 options to choose from for individuals one year and older?
Be Curious: Explore and find your flavor fit
Moms, dads and other caregivers know that keeping kids on the special diets that require Neocate isn’t always easy, especially as they grow and see other children enjoying more variety at the dinner table. When it comes to an elimination diet, having more than one flavor option lessens the “boredom effect” that may happen when only a single flavor is used long term. No matter how long you or your child needs an amino acid-based formula for nutritional support, Neocate offers the greatest flavor variety.
Just like their favorite song, your loved ones have the option to pick a favorite flavor with Neocate.
