Wanda’s® Barium Cookie is a Modified Barium Swallowing Study (or VFSS) evaluation tool that is used when testing swallowing of dry textured foods.
Our recipe eliminates the need to apply barium paste or powder on top the dry texture because the barium sulfate is baked within the cookie. Because our cookie is a dry crunchy texture, there is no need to actually simulate a dry texture. Wanda’s® Barium Cookie is entirely visible during the radiographic procedure, including the crumbs.
