Apparatus for producing novel three dimensional shaped frozen confection products on a stick. A molded slug of frozen confection having a generic shape is converted into a three dimensional frozen confection having any desired shape including shapes having variable cross-sections and undercut portions. The desired final shape is formed by the application of pressure to the slug, without significant melting of the slug, using a split mold which defines the final three dimensional shape by controlling the temperature of the slug and the relative size and shape of the slug and mold cavity.

Seafood products, such as shrimp, may be produced in any desired shape by a process which includes the steps of mechanically working small pieces of a selected seafood under vacuum, to form a shapeable mash having textural and eating characteristics comparable to those of the selected seafood in its natural form. In a preferred method, the seafood pieces are mechanically worked under vacuum and a matrix mix comprising a cookable binder is thereafter carefully folded-in to the worked seafood pieces under vacuum to thereby yield a shapeable mash which can be extruded or molded, to produce seafood products having highly desirable texture and eating characteristics.

A forming device for providing a substantially cylindrical side wall on the exteriors of each one of successive food product mixtures or slurries discharged from a nozzle orifice in a food product apparatus. The device is mountable on the nozzle and enables a liquid substance to be uniformly directed against each of the formed slurries to envelop them and to aid their release from the nozzle.
