devices including gravity dispensers, pumps, extruders, and augers; or manual dispensing utensils

Subd. 2. Utensils. A manual dispensing utensil must have a handle long enough to avoid
consumer contact with the bulk food. When not in use, dispensing utensils must be stored either

adjacent to the display unit with the utensil on a tether of easily cleanable material short enough to
prevent contact with the floor.
