PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an enteral nutrition product easily preventing the enteral nutrition product administered with a tube to a patient from flowing backward from the stomach of the patient to the esophagus. SOLUTION: The enteral nutrition product 130 is formed as a semi-solid. The semi-solid is common to a solid in that the semi-solid has a shape retentivity allowing a shape of the semi-solid to be retained without a spontaneous change in shape, and in that the semi-solid is capable of containing a nutrition component at a higher concentration than those of a liquid and a fluid. On the other hand, the semi-solid is common to the liquid and the fluid in that the semi-solid is easier to be changed in shape due to an externally forced load than the solid. The shape retentivity is maintained before, during, and after administration of the enteral nutrition product 130 into the patient, and is maintained while the enteral nutrition product 130 is stayed within the patient, such that the enteral nutrition product 130 is not liquefied due to a body temperature of the patient.
