A pudding composition particularly adapted to production of a sterile, aseptically packaged pudding product comprising an aqueous admixture of a sugar component, a starch component, a material selected from the group consisting of kappa-carrageenan, iota-carrageenan and mixtures thereof, and milk solids. In the preferred processing, the admixture is heated to elevated temperatures sufficient to sterilize the composition and effect cooking/solubilization of the starch, and then cooled to a temperature, preferably from about 70.degree. F. to 110.degree. F., suitable for aseptic filling and sealing in suitable containers. The final packaged pudding product of the invention exhibits stability against microbial contamination and changes in product characteristics, and possesses texture and organoleptic properties similar to (and often preferred to) those of homemade cooked-starch puddings.
A process for preparing a room-temperature sterile packaged pudding product having textural and organoleptic properties similar to those exhibited by a homemade cooked-starch pudding, and which exhibits long-term stability against microbial contamination, comprising the steps of:
