     31.84 Dispensing. 

    Subdivision 1.    Dispensing devices.  Bulk food may be 
 dispensed by:  mechanical dispensing devices including gravity 
 dispensers, pumps, extruders, and augers; or manual dispensing 
 utensils including tongs, scoops, ladles, and spatulas.  

    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 in the food with the handle extended out of the food, or 
 in a protective enclosure attached or adjacent to the display 
 unit with the utensil on a tether of easily cleanable material 
 short enough to prevent contact with the floor.
