A food handling device includes a holder having an interior chamber extending along a longitudinal axis, and an extension housing detachably mounted on the holder and having an interior compartment for receiving and for holding the foodstuff. A pusher is mounted in the chamber for axial movement. An actuator axially moves the pusher through the chamber and through the compartment into contact with the foodstuff, and incrementally feeds a continuously variable quantity of the foodstuff along the longitudinal axis through the opening directly into a user's mouth to enable the foodstuff to be eaten bite-by-bite in a sanitary manner without using eating accessories, such as plates and/or utensils, and without the user's hands directly touching and contaminating the foodstuff, thereby preventing the spread of disease.

The present invention relates to a process for producing a food article consisting of an edible composition having an elongated member extending therefrom, the edible composition having a water content of less than 5 wt. %. The present invention also relates an edible composition and to the of the edible composition for preparing a meal or snack.

Disclosed herein is a method for preparing a low-cost fully-biodegradable plant fiber starch tableware. A plant cellulose material containing dregs of Scutellaria baicalensis is modified to obtain a modified plant fiber starch blank. Konjac gum is subjected to pulverization and ultrafine pulverization to obtain a colloidal binder combined with a deacetylated konjac gum. The colloidal binder is mixed with the modified plant fiber starch blank to obtain a mixture. The mixture is subjected to foam molding in a forming mold to obtain the low-cost fully-biodegradable plant fiber starch tableware.

A notched stirring device having additional functionalities includes a decorative element forming a grip for a user, a piercing tip for protruding through a garnish, and an elongated body that spans between the decorative element and the piercing tip. The decorative element may be formed in a fanciful shape to facilitate identification. The elongated body forms one or more functional notches and may support (or restrain) one or more items of garnish. The one or more functional notches include a first notch for receiving a first lip of the vessel so that the stirring device may be removably attached to the vessel. In certain embodiments, the stirring device includes a second notch for receiving a second lip of the vessel to secure the stirring device in a horizontal position with the garnish safely above the level of the liquid in the vessel. The notched stirring device may additionally have a vertical hanging notch for positioning the stirring device in a vertical orientation.

A portable food handling device including a flexible strip having a body portion and a first and second end region, the body portion bent into a closed loop configuration to define an interior space configured to receive foodstuffs therein. Such a portable food handling device can include a feeder that can rotate to linearly advance the foodstuff in a bite-by-bite manner into the user's mouth. The foodstuff is thus incrementally exposed so that it can be directly eaten in a sanitary manner without using eating accessories, such as plates and/or utensils, as well as without one's hands directly touching and contaminating the foodstuff to prevent the spread of disease and pandemics.

Disposable three dimensional serving utensils that can be incorporated into a pizza box, a cake box or other container, via incised and scored blanks, from which disposable utensils, such as spatulas and knives, can be formed.

The present application relates to a disposable foldable eating utensil comprising: a body; a handle extending from the distal end of the body; and a bendable part formed between the body and the handle to be thinner than the other parts so as to allow the handle to be folded and unfolded, wherein the body comprises a protrusion protruding downward from the bottom surface of the distal end thereof, the protrusion comprises an engaging ledge protruding outward from the periphery thereof, and the handle comprises an extension piece extending at a predetermined thickness from the tip end thereof and having a through-hole passing through the upper surface and the bottom surface thereof.
