This handout is designed for patients, caregivers, and staff to illustrate where “hidden” thin liquids may pose a risk for people with dysphagia on thickened liquids. While not a comprehensive list, this handout highlights ice, straws, frozen treats, soup, and saliva, laying out the reasons why these things may pose an increased risk of aspiration and offering alternative solutions to reduce this risk. This printable handout is for speech-language pathologists working with adult patients, covering Dysphagia. Print Resource, US Letter, 1 page. Members can view and print it.

Use this resource when a patient, family, or colleague asks:

  • How do I explain aspiration risk from ice soup or saliva in dysphagia?
  • What foods and drinks are unsafe for patients using thickened liquids?
  • What hidden thin liquids should patients avoid when on thickened liquids?
