A food product including a liquid edible vegetable oil containing
composition and dispensing article is provided. The article includes a
reservoir for receiving a liquid composition and an operating unit for
dispensing the vegetable oil containing composition as a spray. The
operating unit is in fluid communication with and positioned above the
reservoir fitting by way of a suitable seal over an open end of the
reservoir. The unit includes a button positioned concentrically above a
shroud, and a mechanical liquid pump mechanism. The pump includes a body
having an upper end and a lower end, having inner walls. The upper end is
surrounded by a collar. A piston, movable within the body, is seated
within collar and is movable therein. The piston is provided at its
bottom end with a piston base and a gasket positioned between them. The
piston base is positioned at its lower end adjacent a spring system. The
spring system functions to return the piston of the liquid pump to an
un-activated position. A liner device is inserted to concentrically
surround the body at the bottom of the piston so as to restrict liquid
composition flow through the vents and between the piston and the collar.
Substantially no liquid drip is achieved with the mechanical pump
mechanism in combination with the vegetable oil composition of the
product.
