A union $\mathcal{I}=\mathcal{I}_{1}\cup \mathcal{I}_{2}\cup \cdots \cup \mathcal{I}_{m}$ of $m$ sets of items is given, where for each $i=1,2,\ldots,m$, $\mathcal{I}_{i}=\{I_{ik} \mid k=1,2,\ldots,n\}$ denotes a set of $n$ items of the $i$-th type and $I_{ik}$ denotes the $k$-th item of the $i$-th type. Each item $I_{ik}$ has an integral weight $w_{ik}$ and an integral priority $p_{ik}$. The food mixture packing problem to be discussed in this paper asks to find a union $\mathcal{I}'=\mathcal{I}'_{1}\cup \mathcal{I}'_{2}\cup \cdots \cup \mathcal{I}'_{m}$ of $m$ subsets of items so that for each $i=1,2,\ldots,m$, the sum weight of chosen items of the $i$-th type for $\mathcal{I}'_{i} \subseteq \mathcal{I}_{i}$ is no less than an integral indispensable bound $b_{i}$, and the total weight of chosen items for $\mathcal{I}'$ is no less than an integral target weight $t$. The total weight of chosen items for $\mathcal{I'}$ is minimized as the primary objective, and further the total priority of chosen items for $\mathcal{I'}$ is maximized as the second objective. In this paper, the known time complexity $O(mnt+mt^{m})$ is improved to $O(mnt+mt^{2})$ for an arbitrary $m\geq 3$ by a two-stage constitution algorithm with dynamic programming procedures. The improved time complexity figures out the weak NP-hardness of the food mixture packing problem.
