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, developed by founder Jack DiTeodoro, M.D., aims to address common nutritional deficits in seniors who may struggle with appetite, illness, or recovery.
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. According to the company, the cookie is 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 DiTeodoro. "I created Jeriack Fortified Nutrition Cookies to provide a nutritious food option that people genuinely enjoy while helping support their daily nutritional needs."
Maintaining adequate nutrition becomes increasingly challenging with age. Changes in appetite, illness, recovery from hospitalization, and other factors may hinder protein and essential nutrient intake. Caregivers often struggle when elderly parents don't finish meals. While liquid nutritional supplements remain important, Jeriack Nutrition Cookies offer an additional food-based choice designed to make nutrition easier and more enjoyable.
The product features a soft texture for easy enjoyment and classic chocolate chip flavor. Jeriack Snacks, founded by practicing physician Jack DiTeodoro, M.D., was inspired by the clinical challenge of helping older adults meet nutritional needs with foods they are willing to eat. The company is committed to developing physician-created nutrition products that support healthy aging.
