A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11877583B2) discloses a method for manufacturing a comestible product, such as food items, involving the formation of a comestible mass into a desired shape using a forming station. The method includes compressing the comestible mass into the desired shape and applying a packaging material to the surface of the comestible structure while it remains in contact with a portion of the forming station. This process allows for the efficient production of comestible products with specific shapes and packaging applied directly during the manufacturing process.

The patent also describes a system for forming and packaging comestible products along a production line, which includes a forming station for compressing the comestible into the desired shape and a packaging material that is positioned in contact with the comestible structure during the manufacturing process. The system further includes components such as blades for removing excess material, additional packaging materials, cutting devices for forming cuts in the packaging material, and ensures that no intentional cooling of the comestible structure occurs during the forming and packaging process. This innovative system streamlines the manufacturing of comestible products by integrating the forming and packaging steps into a continuous and efficient production line, resulting in a fully enclosed package for the comestible product.
