Canister\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone managing dysphagia, the hardest part of thickening a drink is usually what it does to the drink. This xanthan gum blend from McKesson is built to disappear into whatever it is mixed with: coffee stays coffee-colored, juice stays clear, and the flavor comes through unchanged. It dissolves instantly without clumping or settling, so a caregiver can prepare a beverage at the bedside in under a minute and know the consistency will hold. A measuring scoop is included in every canister.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClear and Flavorless:\u003c\/strong\u003e Colorless xanthan gum formula does not cloud beverages or alter taste, which makes thickened drinks far easier to accept at mealtime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstant Mixing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dissolves smoothly without lumps and reaches its target consistency quickly, with no lengthy standing time or re-stirring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Not Bind Fluid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike starch-based thickeners, xanthan gum releases its water, so residents still receive the full hydration volume of the beverage they drink.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHot or Cold:\u003c\/strong\u003e Holds consistency across temperatures, from hot broth and coffee to iced tea and juice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet Friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gluten free, kosher pareve, and halal, with only 15 calories per serving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMcKesson Brand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16-DT9800\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMcKesson Item Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1253550\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFood and Beverage Thickener\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIDDSI Consistency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIDDSI Level 0 Thin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePreparation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlavor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnflavored\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIngredients\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXanthan Gum, Maltodextrin, Ascorbic Acid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContainer Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCanister\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolume\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.24 oz.
