Thick & Easy® Instant Food & Beverage Thickener — Unflavored Powder, 6.5 g Individual Packet

Thick & Easy® is a specialist powdered thickening formula designed for individuals with swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) who need beverages and soft foods modified to a safer, moderately thick consistency. These single-serve 6.5 g packets are ideal for caregivers and clinical settings where consistent texture and convenience matter.

Key Features & Benefits

• Pre-measured individual packets: Each packet contains 6.5 g of unflavored powder — convenient for one serving, reducing measuring errors.
• Instant mix in hot or cold liquids: Designed to dissolve smoothly in both hot and cold beverages or soft foods, without altering taste or flavor.
• IDDSI Level 3 (Moderately Thick / Liquidized): Suitable for patients requiring a thicker, more cohesive liquid consistency as defined by the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative.
• Diet-friendly formulation: Unflavored powder allows integration into any drink or food without noticeable taste impact; suitable across a range of textures and meal plans.
• For adult & pediatric use (age 3+ & up): Reliable choice for both children and adults who require moderately thick consistencies for safe swallowing.

How to Use

• Open one 6.5 g packet and pour it into approximately 120 mL (4 oz) of prepared beverage or soft food, or as directed by your clinician.
• Stir thoroughly until fully dissolved; the mixture will achieve a moderately thick texture (Level 3), forming a cohesive, manageable consistency for safer swallowing.
• Serve immediately, or as recommended by a speech-language pathologist or dietitian to meet the individual’s swallowing plan.
• Store unopened packets in a cool, dry place. Once mixed, use within the time recommended by your clinical protocol.

Important Things to Know

• This powder is specifically designed to modify texture only for swallowing management—it does not provide significant calories, protein or nutrients. Ensure the user’s overall nutrition plan includes appropriate nutritional intake.
• Use under supervision of a healthcare professional (dietitian or speech-language pathologist) familiar with dysphagia diet recommendations and individual swallowing assessments.
• Because the product modifies liquids to a thicker consistency, monitor hydration and fluid volume adequacy—thicker liquids may be consumed more slowly or in smaller amounts.
• Read and follow label instructions for storage, preparation, and usage. Use only the recommended amount for the desired consistency; over-thickening may make swallowing more difficult.
• Ensure compatibility with other dietary restrictions or sensitivities (e.g., if the user has corn-starch intolerance or other ingredient sensitivities—this product uses modified food starch).
