Improved apparatus (10) for the handling and packing of meat emulsion products is provided which eliminates the problem of "swirl" in such products, i.e., the undesirable appearance of red meat particles in a circular or spiral pattern. The apparatus (10) preferably includes a piston-type food pump (12) equipped with a vacuumizer (24), and a downstream emulsified product sizer (14). A conveying tube (16) operatively couples the pump (12) and sizer (14). The assembly (16) is in the form of an elongated tube (36) having a plurality of axially spaced apart, flow-disrupting disk sets (48) therein. Each disk set (48) has an apertured disk (50) and a downstream, smaller diameter, imperforate disk (56).
