The invention provides a method of manufacturing a reconstituted food product from food pieces comprising adding a composition including a setting retardant and a hydrocolloid to a food product which naturally contains at least one substance which causes the hydrocolloid to set. Where the food product does not naturally contain at least one substance which causes the hydrocolloid to set, the method comprises mixing with the food pieces a substance which, on contact with a hydrocolloid, causes the hydrocolloid to set, and thereafter mixing a hydrocolloid and setting retardant composition into the mixed food pieces and setting substance. |
