Important Things to Know
- This product is intended for individuals with swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) and should be used under medical supervision.
- While it ensures proper liquid/food consistency, it does not provide nutrition (calories or protein); overall diet and hydration need still must be managed.
- Always check ingredient lists for allergies or sensitivities (e.g., modified starches, gums).
- Store in a cool, dry place; use within the timeframe indicated after opening.
- Because consistency matters for safety, the mixture should be tested/verified (as per IDDSI guidelines) before consumption.
