At Rizo Desserts, we believe great care deserves great food – and dessert should be the highlight on the tray. Our commitment to quality, taste and variety is what makes that possible.
We were founded with a clear purpose – to bring comfort, dignity and genuine enjoyment to healthcare foodservice. As local manufacturing shifted toward retail and younger consumers, older Australians were left with limited dessert options – menus lacking variety, flavour and texture-modified choices that truly satisfied. We set out to change that.
With over two decades of experience, Rizo Desserts has become one of Australia’s leading manufacturers of ready-to-eat dairy and jelly desserts for hospitals, aged care homes, and healthcare providers. Our products are designed to deliver nutrition, joy, and familiarity, especially for those with changing appetites or complex dietary needs.
Today, our range includes over 30 portion-controlled options, including more than 15 IDDSI Level 4 compliant varieties for residents with dysphagia or swallowing difficulties. We offer fortified desserts with 5g of protein and 200mg of calcium per serve, helping support recovery, strength and satisfaction. We also cater to low caloric, gluten-free, vegetarian and Halal-certified diets.
What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to consistency and comfort. We work closely with dietitians, executive chefs and aged care teams to ensure our products meet clinical standards while genuinely delighting residents and patients. Made with real ingredients and authentic recipes, our desserts are consistent, comforting and crafted to elevate the mealtime experience.
Rizo Desserts is HACCP certified, Halal accredited and licenced by Dairy Food Safety Victoria. We’re approved by Health Share Victoria and accredited for accessible packaging by Arthritis Australia.
As the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards take effect from November 2025, we remain committed to supporting autonomy, wellbeing and choice in every meal.
We’re proud to be known as “Healthcare favourites” and we’re here to help you serve something special.
