A method and a device for the production of coloured animal or human foodstuffs and corresponding device, in particular, animal or human foodstuffs with two colours having clearly defined coloured regions. The above is achieved, whereby a product stream, preferably produced in an extruder, is divided into several independent part streams (depending on the number of colours) in a mixing run and each partial stream is mixed with a colour in a mixing chamber. The partial streams are mixed just before outlet nozzles on a nozzle plate, such that end products with clearly defined colour regions are produced after expansion and cutting.
