Food thickeners are useful in preventing aspiration, a condition that happens when patients accidentally breathe food into their windpipe.
This may happen because of swallowing impairment, often leading to aspiration pneumonia.
Food thickeners and mixes are usually added to a food or liquid to boost the density. They are also typically odourless and tasteless, and work to decrease the speed of food going down the throat.
We have a few food thickeners and mixes for customers to choose from, like:
– Nestle Resource Thicken Up Clear
– Valens Nutrition Thixer
– Valens Myotein Whey Protein Concentrate
