Abstract
A food scoop having a holder for a condiment receptacle is disclosed. The holder and food scoop are formed from a unitary blank of material and the holder forms a continuation of the side wall of the scoop to allow for stacking and storage until the holder is deployed for use. After deployment, the holder securely retains a condiment receptacle and resists the forces applied to the receptacle during use. A blank for forming the food scoop and holder is also disclosed.
