SimplyThick EasyMix Gel 1.6L Pump Bottle
SimplyThick® EasyMix™ Gel Thickener — 1.6 Liter Pump Bottle, Unflavored
⚠ Important Safety Warning: Do not use in infants or children without consulting a physician. SimplyThick EasyMix should not be used with premature infants, or infants and children under 12 months of age, due to a documented association between gel thickeners and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in this population. This product was developed for adult and geriatric use. Consult a physician before use with anyone under 12 years of age or with a history of NEC.
Measured-Dose Thickening for Nectar, Honey, or Pudding Consistency
SimplyThick® EasyMix™ is an instant gel thickener that mixes into hot or cold foods and beverages within seconds, with no clumping and no continued thickening over time the way starch-based thickeners can drift past the target consistency. The 1.6 liter pump bottle delivers a precisely measured 6 grams of gel per full pump stroke, so every dose is consistent — critical when a specific IDDSI level has been prescribed.
One pump stroke mixed into 4 oz of liquid creates a Level 2, Mildly Thick (nectar) consistency; two strokes create Level 3, Moderately Thick (honey); and four strokes create a pudding-thick consistency. The unflavored gel doesn't alter the taste or appearance of food or drink, and the large-capacity bottle is built to last through high-frequency daily use in home or facility settings without frequent replacement.
Key Features
- Measured Pump Dosing: Each full stroke dispenses exactly 6g of gel for consistent, repeatable results.
- Three Consistencies, One Bottle: 1 pump for nectar (Level 2), 2 for honey (Level 3), 4 for pudding thickness.
- Fast, No-Clump Mixing: Thickens within seconds and doesn't continue thickening over time.
- Works Hot or Cold: Suitable for coffee, tea, water, juice, soup, and more.
- Unflavored: Doesn't alter the taste or appearance of food or beverages.
- Large 1.6L Capacity: Built for high-use home or facility settings with fewer replacements.
- Freeze-Thaw Stable with a 12-month best-by date from manufacture.
- Certified Kosher and Certified Halal.
Equipment Specialist Insight: The measured pump is the real advantage over loose powder thickeners — 6 grams per stroke means the same dose every time, which matters enormously when someone's swallowing safety depends on hitting a specific IDDSI level consistently, not just "roughly thick enough." The 1-to-4 stroke range covering nectar through pudding also means one bottle handles a household or facility's full range of texture needs rather than stocking separate products per consistency level. Because it doesn't continue thickening after mixing (unlike starch-based thickeners), what you test is what gets served — always test the actual consistency before serving, per IDDSI guidance, rather than assuming the stroke count alone guarantees the target level for every liquid.

Q: Is this safe for infants or children?
A: No, not without a physician's guidance. SimplyThick EasyMix was developed for adult and geriatric use, and gel thickeners of this type carry a documented association with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants and infants under 12 months. Do not use with infants, premature infants, or children under 12 years without first consulting a physician, and never use with anyone with a history of NEC without medical guidance.
Q: How is this different from a starch-based thickener?
A: Gel-based thickeners like SimplyThick mix instantly and reach their final consistency within seconds, then stay at that consistency — starch-based thickeners (like Thick-It or Thick & Easy powders) can continue thickening for several minutes after mixing, which makes it easier to accidentally over- or under-thicken. The trade-off is that gel thickeners are generally not recommended for infants, while some starch-based options have different guidance — always follow your care team's specific product recommendation.
Q: How many doses does one bottle provide?
A: At 6g per pump stroke, a 1.6L bottle provides roughly 250+ individual pump doses, though actual count varies with fill level and pump technique. The large capacity is designed to reduce how often a household or facility needs to replace the bottle compared to smaller formats.
Specifications, ingredients, and dosing guidance are provided by the manufacturer and are subject to change; verify current details against the physical product label before use. Always test the actual consistency of thickened liquids before serving, per IDDSI guidance, rather than relying on stroke count alone. This product is a food thickener and is not a substitute for professional medical advice; consult a speech-language pathologist, physician, or the individual's care team regarding the appropriate thickening product and consistency level.
