Viscgo Food Consistency Test Fork

The Viscgo Food Consistency Test Fork is a convenient tool that makes it easier to carry out the IDDSI Food Tests, removing subjectivity, increasing accuracy and therefore reducing risk.

Page 6 of the IDDSI Framework Testing Methods 2.0 states “IDDSI provides testing methods that use forks and spoons to minimize the need for subjectivity … Forks and spoons were chosen as they are inexpensive, easily accessible and available in most food preparation and dining environments.”1

Although IDDSI aim to minimise subjectivity, readily available forks are NOT standardised and have DIFFERENT dimensions and properties so subjectivity remains.

By contrast, the Viscgo Food Consistency Test Fork has standardised dimensions and properties that conform precisely with those required by the IDDSI Food Testing Methods. This removes subjectivity, increases accuracy and therefore reduces risk.
