Supercol Food & Liquid Thickener - Mixing Guidelines
Please Note: Our mixing guidelines are currently being re-developed due to the introduction of a slightly smaller scoop. The difference is minimal however users are advised to use discretion and slightly heap scoop rather than using level scoop. If in doubt please refer to gram and teaspoon measurements below. Updated mixing guidelines coming soon including specific baby bottle and breast feeding paste recipes. Stay tuned!
