A complete maintenance, nutritionally balance animal food composition of a moisture content of about 75 percent is presented which incorporates expanded soybean fiber chunks throughout to simulate natural metal chunks and to resemble a canned all meat product, said chunks having been impregnated with flavorful components to impart a meat-like taste and consistency thereto, and a process for producing said food composition comprising: grinding raw animal meat containing proteinaceous material to particles of a substantially uniform size; mixing expanded soybean fiber chunks, moisture and oils therewith; cooking the slurry of said chunks to impregnate them with flavorful components of said particles of meat, flavors and oils for consistency and taste, the cooking being carried out at a sufficient moisture content to allow the food composition to resemble a canned, all meat food product; then forming a nutritionally balanced food composition with the cooked slurry; packing the food composition into a container; and cooking under pressure to sterilize the food composition.
