Abstract: A method for manufacturing an antidotal food product containing activated charcoal is provided to combine a binder, a filler composition, water, flavoring and sweetener compositions with an activated charcoal to form wafers having a consistency emulating that of a baked cookie. The activated charcoal (110), binder (112), filler (114), water (116), and flavoring and sweetener compositions (118) are combined in a mixer (210) to form a slurry. The slurry is then processed in a spray dryer (220) to form granules. The granules are combined with a lubricant (122) in a blender (230). The dry mixture from blender (230) is then formed into wafers by a tableting type machine in a compression molding step (240). The wafers formed in the compression molding step (240) are then coated in an anti-dusting coating step (250). A sweet creme filling is applied between pairs of the wafers in a cookie sandwich assembly step (270).

Abstract: An antidotal food product containing activated charcoal is provided for ingestion into the gastro-intestinal tract of a user. The antidotal food product is orally administered having the visual appearance and physical properties which enables the desire on the part of young children to chew and ingest the food product. The food product in a preferred embodiment includes a substantially dry friable wafer which is adapted to be chewed by the user for ingestion. The dry friable wafer has a wafer mixture composition formed by blending a first predetermined weight of sorbent particulate composition having an initial adsorption value with respect to a toxin to a second predetermined weight of a substantially non-interfering flavored binding composition which provides for a creamy and sweet tasting food product.
