Description

Thick & Easy Original Instant Food & Beverage Thickener

Please note the packaging has changed but the ingredients remains the same. The enclosed scoop is now smaller so please check the directions carefully to ensure the correct thickness.

Thick & Easy Original Instant Food & Beverage Thickener is a white powder designed to be added directly to hot and cold foods and drinks. It quickly and easily thickens foods and fluids for patients who have difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), e.g. conditions such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, muscular dystrophy, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis, malignancies of the oral cavity and throat, neurological disorders caused by injury or disease.

Thick & Easy Original Instant Food & Beverage Thickener is gluten and lactose free and is available in a 225g resealable tin or a 4.54kg catering pack - simply choose above.

Directions

Thick & Easy can be added to all hot and cold liquids, nutritional supplements and all types of hot or cold pureed foods to develop a thicker consistency and prevent aspiration.

Thickening liquids

Simply sprinkle in the desired amount (see directions on tin) and stir briskly with a whisk or fork until dissolved. The liquid will thicken within 1 minute of mixing. 

Thickening larger quantities


Thick & Easy can be mixed into liquids using a food processor. Keep food/liquid refrigerated until ready to use.

Thickening pureed food


Add the desired quantity of Thick & Easy and blend until a smooth consistency develops. If the texture becomes thicker than required, simply add a small amount of liquid (water, juice, milk) and re-liquidise.
