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 aims to address the challenge many seniors face in maintaining adequate nutrition due to changes in appetite, illness, recovery from hospitalization, and other age-related factors.
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 cookies are designed for seniors living independently, family caregivers, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and senior living communities.
"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."
While liquid nutritional supplements remain an important option for many individuals, Jeriack Nutrition Cookies provide an additional food-based choice designed to make nutrition easier, more enjoyable, and easier to incorporate into daily routines. The soft texture is designed for easy enjoyment, and the classic chocolate chip flavor appeals to a broad audience.
Founded by practicing physician Jack DiTeodoro, M.D., Jeriack Snacks was inspired by a common clinical challenge: helping older adults meet their nutritional needs with foods they are willing and able to enjoy. The company is committed to developing physician-created nutrition products that help make healthy aging easier for individuals, families, caregivers, and healthcare organizations.
