Abstract

A method for manufacturing an antidotal food product containing activated charcoal is provided to combine a binder, a filler composition, water, flavoring and sweetener compositions with an activated charcoal to form wafers having a consistency emulating that of a baked cookie. The activated charcoal (110), binder (112), filler (114), water (116), and flavoring and sweetener compositions (118) are combined in a mixer (210) to form a slurry. The slurry is then processed in a spray dryer (220) to form granules. The granules are combined with a lubricant (122) in a blender (230). The dry mixture from blender (230) is then formed into wafers by a tableting type machine in a compression molding step (240). The wafers formed in the compression molding step (240) are then coated in an anti-dusting coating step (250). A sweet creme filling is applied between pairs of the wafers in a cookie sandwich assembly step (270).
