Abstract

A snack food product comprises a filling (107) wholly enclosed in a bread-like casing (100), optionally with a barrier layer (106) disposed between the casing (100) and the filling (107). A sterile moisture-proof wrapping (108) wholly encloses the edible part (100, 106, 107) of the product. The snack food product (100, 106, 107, 108) is storable at normal temperature for long periods, e.g. several months. The product can be made by assembling the components before or after a shaped dough component is baked to form the bread-like casing (100) and can be prepared for consumption by a heating step carried out before or after the edible part (100, 106, 107) is removed from the wrapping (108).
