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 is designed to address a common challenge: maintaining adequate nutrition as people age, which can be hindered by 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 product is intended for seniors living independently, family caregivers of elderly parents, and various healthcare settings including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and senior living communities. The cookie features a soft texture for easy enjoyment and a classic chocolate chip flavor.
“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. Caregivers often struggle when their elderly parents don't finish meals, making this product a practical solution for families and healthcare providers alike.
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.

This launch has significant implications for the senior nutrition market, which has traditionally relied heavily on liquid supplements. By offering a solid food alternative that mimics a familiar treat, Jeriack Snacks aims to improve compliance and quality of life for older adults who may resist liquid supplements. For caregivers and healthcare facilities, the product provides a convenient option to boost protein and nutrient intake without the struggle of preparing or consuming traditional supplements. The physician-developed nature of the product adds a layer of credibility and clinical insight, potentially influencing how other companies approach senior nutrition.
