The formula and mixing ratio are identical to the 10 oz canister (1 1\/3 tbsp per 4 fl oz of water for nectar consistency), so switching sizes doesn't change technique, just how often you're reaching for a fresh container. Store it the same way regardless of size: cool, dry, and out of high humidity, since a starch-based powder can clump if it absorbs moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cul class=\"enhdme-spec-list\"\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003eMcKesson\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eApplication\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003eFood and beverage thickener, powder\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eVolume\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003e36 oz. per canister (about 182 servings)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eFlavor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003eUnflavored\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eForm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003ePowder\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eServing Size\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003e1 1\/3 tbsp (6g) — thickens 4 fl oz water to nectar\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eCalories per Serving\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003e20\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eTotal Fat\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003e0g\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eCholesterol\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003e0mg\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eSodium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003e10mg (0% DV)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eTotal Carbohydrate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003e5g (2% DV)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eDietary Fiber \/ Sugars\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003e0g \/ 0g\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eProtein\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003e0g\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eDistributed By\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003eMcKesson Medical-Surgical Inc., Richmond, VA\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eStorage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003eCool, dry area, 40–90°F; below 70% relative humidity\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-label\"\u003eCase Pack\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"enhdme-spec-value\"\u003e6 canisters per case\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n    \u003ch2\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eModified Cornstarch, Maltodextrin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size: 0.95rem; color: #718096;\"\u003eNo major allergens are declared on the product label for this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"enhdme-faq-section\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"enhdme-faq-item\"\u003e\n            \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why does this say \"IDDSI Level 0\" if it's a thickener?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cp\u003eA: That label describes the powder's unprepared state, not the consistency it creates once used.
