SimplyThick EasyMix Packets 6g Level 2 200ct
SimplyThick® EasyMix™ Gel Thickener Packets — 6g, IDDSI Level 2, Box of 200
⚠ 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 Nectar-Consistency Packets, Anywhere You Go
SimplyThick® EasyMix™ individual packets bring the same instant, no-clump gel thickening as the bulk pump bottle in a small, portable, pre-measured format. Each 6-gram packet is designed to thicken exactly 4 oz of beverage to IDDSI Level 2, Mildly Thick (nectar) consistency — no measuring, no guessing, just tear, pour, and stir.
The gel mixes into hot or cold beverages within about 30 seconds without altering taste, and unlike starch-based thickeners, it doesn't continue thickening after mixing, so a drink prepared ahead of time stays at the same consistency when it's actually served. This box of 200 packets is built for facilities, schools, and anyone who needs grab-and-go portability without sacrificing dosing accuracy.

- Stable Over Time: Doesn't continue thickening after mixing, so drinks can be prepared ahead of when they're served.

- Gluten-Free.
- Box of 200 Packets for high-volume or facility use.
Equipment Specialist Insight: Individual packets solve a different problem than the bulk pump bottle — portability and single-use precision, not bottle capacity. For a caregiver traveling, a school setting, or anyone who needs a thickener that fits in a bag or pocket, a fixed 6g-to-4oz packet removes any dosing guesswork the way a pump bottle can't when you're away from home. Since powdered starch thickeners can foam or clump in carbonated beverages, this gel format is a meaningfully better choice for soda or sparkling drinks specifically. If a household or facility uses SimplyThick primarily at one location, the 1.6L pump bottle is typically more economical per dose; packets earn their premium through portability and precision, not price.

⚠ Allergen Information: 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: Why choose packets over the pump bottle?
A: Portability and precision. Packets are ideal for travel, school, or anywhere a bulk bottle isn't practical, and each one is pre-measured for a consistent 4 oz nectar-thick result without needing to count pump strokes. The 1.6L pump bottle is the better choice for primarily at-home or single-location facility use where portability matters less than overall value.
Q: Can I use this with carbonated beverages?
A: Yes — gel thickeners like SimplyThick handle carbonated beverages more cleanly than powdered starch thickeners, which tend to foam and create a mess when mixed into soda or sparkling drinks.
