Abstract: Food products and the processes for forming/manufacturing the food products are disclosed. An exemplary food product comprises one or more extruded components (e.g., vegetable, fruit, dairy, meat, flavoring, spice, coloring, particulate, or combinations thereof); and one or more extruded collagen layers substantially encasing the extruded component(s). Another exemplary food product is disclosed as comprising an extruded component; and a carrier co-extruded with the first extruded component, the carrier comprising a matrix adhered to the first extruded component and an additive suspended in the matrix.
