The present invention relates to a canning machine for a foodstuff product (2), such as tuna fish or similar, comprising a conveyor belt (1) suitable for carrying the foodstuff product (2) into a compressing and shaping device, a pair of dies (14) suitable for shearing two cakes (22) from each portion (12) of the foodstuff product (2) and a pair of ejecting pistons (20) suitable for pushing said cakes (22) of into cans (19). Said compressing and shaping device comprises a compression channel (7) inside which is arranged a shaping member (8) provided on the bottom thereof with a separating wedge (13) and a pair of side shaping members (15) slidably arranged in a sliding channel (16) which intersect perpendicularly the compression channel (7). Each side shaping member (15) has an end provided with a semi-cylindrical concavity suitable for penetrating in the compression channel (7) by sliding between one die (14) and the bottom of the shaping member (8).
