  • Packaged, multi-layered, ready-to-eat puddings
    Publication number: 20020136804
    Abstract: In layered, ready-to-eat pudding products containing adjacent layers of a dark-colored pudding, such as chocolate and a light-colored pudding, such as vanilla, the appearance of color migration from the dark layer into the light layer is eliminated by incorporating of 0.4% or more by weight of a whitening pigment, such as titanium dioxide, in the light-colored pudding. The problem overcome by this invention is of concern when the layered pudding is packaged in clear or translucent plastic cups and particularly when the pudding product is a shelf-stable product.
