1. Ｑ：What is care food?
   Ａ：It is a type of soft food provided for elderly people with poor dental health and reduced swallowing and chewing abilities.
2. Ｑ：Since there are soft foods like porridge already available, why do we need care food?
   Ａ：Traditional methods of preparing soft foods often involve chopping with a knife or blending with a juicer, which not only results in unappealing visual appearance but also fails to stimulate the elderly's appetite. Additionally, these methods can lead to contamination and spoilage, raising concerns about food hygiene and safety.
3. Ｑ： Can't non-elderly individuals also eat care food?
   Ａ：Care food is intended not only for the elderly but also for the general public who have recently had dentures, braces, or weaker chewing and swallowing abilities.
4. Ｑ： Are there different grades of care food?
   Ａ：According to Japan's voluntary standards for care food, foods are categorized from hard to soft into four levels: "easy to chew," "can be crushed with gums," "can be crushed with tongue," and "requires no chewing."
5. Ｑ： According to these categories, what level does Ever Smile belong to?
   Ａ：It belongs to the "can be crushed with tongue" category. Ever Smile care food has a mousse-like texture that can be easily broken down with the tongue.
