PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a packaged processed food in which the shape of a solid food material is hard to be collapsed upon circulation.SOLUTION: Provided is a packaged processed food in which at least the part 11 of a container 10 is provided with a heat resistant gelling agent 1 softened or dissolved at a prescribed temperature, and a solid food material 2 having desired hardness is provided in such a manner that at least a part thereof is immersed into the heat resistant gelling agent 1 fixing the position of the solid food material 2. Also provided is a method for producing a packaged processed food comprising: a food material softening step where the solid food material 2 is softened by softening treatment； a solid food material storing step where the solid food material 2 having desired hardness by the food material softening step is stored into the container 10； and a heat resistant gelling agent filling step where the heat resistant gelling agent 1 is filled at least into the bottom part 11 of the container 10 in such a manner that at least a part of the solid food material 2 stored into the container 10 is immersed into the heat resistant gelling agent 1 not softened or dissolved at a prescribed temperature.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】流通時に固形食材の形状が崩れ難い容器入り加工食品を提供する。【解決手段】所定の温度で軟化或いは溶解しない耐熱性ゲル化剤１が容器１０の少なくとも底部１１に備えてあり、所望の硬度を有する固形食材２が、固形食材２の位置を固定する耐熱性ゲル化剤１に少なくとも一部が浸漬して備えてある容器入り加工食品、および、固形食材２を軟化処理で軟化させる食材軟化工程と、食材軟化工程にて所望の硬度を有する固形食材２を容器１０に収容する固形食材収容工程と、容器１０に収容した固形食材２の少なくとも一部が、所定の温度で軟化或いは溶解しない耐熱性ゲル化剤１に浸漬するように耐熱性ゲル化剤１を容器１０の少なくとも底部１１に充填する耐熱性ゲル化剤充填工程と、を有する容器入り加工食品の製造方法。【選択図】図１
