Abstract
The invention provides a meat product comprising extruded inner core of meat substrate and one or more co-extruded outer layers wholly or partly around the core, wherein at least one of the outer layers consists of a meat or fat emulsion. The fibers within the meat or fat emulsion layer are distributed substantially uniformly within the emulsion layer and are disoriented, so as to improve the cohesiveness of that layer. The invention also provides an extrusion nozzle for forming the meat product of the invention.
