Abstract
Disclosed is a multi-layer gel-based food product, such as pudding, in which color migration from one layer to an adjacent layer is minimized. The multi-layer food product comprises a first milk-based, gel-based layer containing a dispersed oil phase and an oil soluble color within the oil phase. The first gel-based layer has a first color. A second gel-based layer, preferably also a milk-based layer, is adjacent the first gel-based layer. The second gel-based layer has a second color different from the first color. To further minimize color migration, the second gel-based layer can also contain a dispersed oil phase and an oil soluble color within the oil phase.

- and
- a second gel-based layer adjacent the first gel-based layer and having a second color different from the first color;
- whereby migration of the oil-soluble food color from the first gel-based layer into the second gel-based layer is minimized.
