    Abstract: A shredded food article in the form of a biscuit is produced by depositing a web of longitudinally shredded food transversely across a moving bed in a uniform overlapping zigzag configuration to produce a wider, continuous, multiple layer sheet. The sheet is first cut longitudinally and is then cut transversely to produce a plurality of files and rows of lapped shredded biscuits on the moving bed. The process may include two separate lapping operations in which a flavorful filling is deposited between laps to produce a composite biscuit having an interior filling.
