Embodiments herein relate to relate to multi-phase food products in deformable containers configured for squeeze dispensing. In an embodiment, a food product is included having a deformable container, wherein the container deforms under an applied force to a deformed state retaining a spring potential energy of less than 25% of the work associated with the applied force. The deformable container including a pressure operated dispensing valve in fluid communication with a channel of the deformable container. The food product further including a food material disposed within the interior volume, the food material including a liquid phase, and a solid phase. The food material having a drain weight of at least 10% and less than 50% when evaluated using a #12 sieve. The food material having a viscosity at 22.5 degrees Celsius of 12 Pa·s to 560 Pa·s at a shear rate of 0.1 [1/s]. Other embodiments are also included herein.
