SimplyThick EasyMix Packets 12g Level 3 100ct
SimplyThick® EasyMix™ Gel Thickener Packets — 12g, IDDSI Level 3, Box of 100
⚠ 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.
Pre-Measured Honey-Consistency Packets for a Thicker Target Level
SimplyThick® EasyMix™ 12-gram packets are formulated to thicken 4 oz of beverage to IDDSI Level 3, Moderately Thick (honey) consistency — one step thicker than the nectar-level 6g packets, for anyone whose prescribed consistency calls for the greater viscosity of honey-thick liquids. The current formula uses 60% less gel than earlier versions to reach the same thickness, so each packet stays compact and easy to carry.
Like every EasyMix product, it mixes with a spoon, straw, or fork — no shaking required — and reaches its final consistency within seconds rather than minutes, then holds that consistency without continuing to thicken over time. This box of 100 packets suits ongoing home or facility use where honey-level thickening is the standard need.
Key Features
- Pre-Measured 12g Packets: One packet reliably thickens 4 oz of beverage to honey consistency.

- Concentrated Formula: Uses 60% less gel than earlier formulas to reach the same thickness.
- Fast Mixing: Ready in seconds; no shaking required.
- Stable Over Time: Doesn't continue thickening after mixing.
- Unflavored and Non-Allergenic: Doesn't alter beverage taste.
- Certified Kosher and Gluten-Free.
- Box of 100 Packets for ongoing home or facility use.
Equipment Specialist Insight: Honey-level (Level 3) thickening is a meaningfully different target than nectar (Level 2) — it's a thicker, more viscous consistency generally prescribed for more significant swallowing difficulty, so don't treat the 6g and 12g packets as interchangeable or assume "more is just extra-safe." Use exactly the level a clinician has prescribed. The reformulated, more concentrated gel is worth knowing about if you or a facility used older SimplyThick packets years ago — today's 12g packet does the same job earlier versions needed more product to accomplish, so packet size alone isn't a reliable way to compare against very old inventory or memory of past use.

⚠ Allergen Information: Non-allergenic; free of major known allergens, including wheat, nuts, tree nuts, gluten, soy, shellfish, sulphites, egg, fish, and corn. Gluten-free. As with any food product, verify current allergen status against the physical product label before serving to anyone with a food allergy.
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.
Q: How is this different from the 6g nectar packets?
A: Consistency level. The 6g packet creates IDDSI Level 2 (nectar, mildly thick); this 12g packet creates IDDSI Level 3 (honey, moderately thick) — a noticeably thicker result for individuals whose prescribed consistency calls for it. Both use the same base gel formula and the same 4 oz per packet ratio, just at different concentrations for different target levels.
Q: How do I mix it?
A: Tear open the packet and stir it into 4 oz of beverage with a spoon, fork, or straw — no shaking required. It reaches full consistency within seconds and holds that consistency afterward, so it can be prepared ahead of when it will actually be served.

Always test the actual consistency of thickened liquids before serving, per IDDSI guidance.
