Tag: Nectar consistency

According to the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI), mildly thick fluids (Level 2) are defined by how much liquid remains in a 10ml syringe after a 10-second flow test, requiring between 4 and 8 ml to be left behind. Achieving this specific consistency using a pump thickener depends entirely on the brand's instructions and the volume of liquid being used.

According to the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI), a global framework, 'mildly thick' liquids fall under Level 2, meaning they flow slower than thin liquids like water. This consistency term, however, extends beyond medicine into other areas like cooking and general description, making its precise meaning dependent on the specific context.
