Use in force feeding[edit]

Ensure has been used for involuntary force feeding, notably of prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp who refuse food as part of a hunger strike.^[2]^[3] While the nutritional supplement is designed to be administered orally, third-party internal feeding kits exist to assist with force feeding the recipient through a nasogastric tube.^[4] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
