I'll be able to tell anyway, when I go to use it. I also have corn flour at home, if I need it. But I'm assuming cornstarch at this stage, because it's the standard thickener for cooked (not instant) milk pudding. I used to make that stuff all the time for DH's son, when he was tiny. We made up some flavors that weren't available in a box. And he loved waiting for it to change from liquid to pudding all of a sudden. Magic.
