An absorbent composition of matter including a non-crosslinked gel forming polymer and at least one clay and preferably including a trivalent cation. The absorbency of the composition exceeds the sum of absorbencies of the components of the blend. The gel formed as a result of absorbency of fluid is non-slimy and has a high gel strength. The composition can be used with food products when made with all food safe ingredients. An absorbent article incorporating the absorbent material can be used for storage of food products.
