Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a uniquely textured pet food in the form of low-intermediate moisture, but highly-palatable, resilient, soft, meat-like chunks. These soft, chewy chunks are expanded internally and have a substantially-continuous, fibrous, highly-irregular surface. This pet food is prepared by relatively high pressure extrusion of a plasticized, meat based formulation to achieve expansion. The product contains sufficient a.sub.w lowering and antimycotic agents to avoid spoilage when packaged under aerobic conditions. By virtue of their meat-like texture and structural integrity, these chunks enable the production of an unusually good dual-textured pet food.
