Summary
Healthcare foodservice teams face constant challenges maintaining safe temperatures and improving patient satisfaction. TuxHEAT™️ plates—sold by Aldevra—improve heat retention by up to 52%, support food safety, and elevate the patient dining experience. Samples of the full Tuxton TuxCARE™️ Healthcare line are available upon request. When patients receive a hot meal that actually stays hot, satisfaction scores rise. Food safety issues decrease. Staff workflows improve. And in healthcare foodservice, where timing and temperature are everything, the right dinnerware directly impacts performance. That’s why Aldevra offers TuxHEAT™️ by Tuxton, an innovative solution engineered to keep meals hotter, longer—designed specifically for healthcare environments.
