- a container 3 for a sweetener is arranged, which container 3 is open at the free end of the handle 2 and oriented towards the bowl 1 and the volume of the container amounts to approx. 4.5 g of a sweetener.
- An opening 4 of the container 3 provided at the free end of the handle 2 is executed with a border 5 to increase the laying surface for a sealing foil 6 entirely covering the opening 4.
- a grasping tongue 7 is placed on the edge of the foil 6.
- the spoon is made of a sanitarily unobjectionable thermoplastic material
- the seal- closing foil is made of a material making possible ultrasonic or thermal welding of the foil onto the spoon opening.
- the method of spoon manufacture, filling and closing is the same as with other packages (e.g. yogurt in plastic pots) in food industry.
