Jeriack Snacks today announced the launch of its physician-developed fortified Nutrition chocolate chip cookie, created to help support the nutritional needs of older adults through a familiar food people enjoy. The product addresses a common challenge: as people age, maintaining adequate nutrition can become difficult due to changes in appetite, illness, or recovery from hospitalization.
Each soft Jeriack Cookie delivers 8 grams of protein and 13 essential vitamins and minerals in a convenient, ready-to-enjoy chocolate chip cookie format. The company notes that while liquid nutritional supplements remain an important option, Jeriack Nutrition Cookies provide an additional food-based choice designed to make nutrition easier and more enjoyable for seniors and their caregivers.
"During my years caring for older adults, I saw firsthand that many patients struggled to maintain adequate nutrition—not because they didn't understand its importance, but because available options were not always appealing or easy to incorporate into daily life," said Jack DiTeodoro, M.D., Founder of Jeriack Snacks. "I created Jeriack Fortified Nutrition Cookies to provide a nutritious food option that people genuinely enjoy while helping support their daily nutritional needs."
The cookies are designed for seniors living independently, family caregivers, and healthcare settings such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and senior living communities. The product features a soft texture for easy enjoyment and a classic chocolate chip flavor.
Jeriack Snacks is a Connecticut-based nutrition company founded by physician Jack DiTeodoro, M.D., with a mission to make healthy aging easier through physician-created foods. The company's flagship product is now available, and more information can be found at www.jeriack.com.
