The present invention relates to a scoop (1) comprising a bowl (2) and a handle connected to the bowl (2) and comprising a clip (6). The clip (6) can be used for re-closing a bag containing a product to be dosed by the bowl (2). The clip (6) is delimited by a free edge (9), and there is a gap (12) between the free edge (9) of the clip (6) and handle edges (10) of regions of the handle (3) surrounding the clip (6). At least a part of the clip edge (9) and at least a part of the handle edges (10) delimiting the gap (12) are provided with teeth (13) in the form of teeth-shaped protrusions. The teeth (13) at the clip edge (9) and the teeth (13) at a proximate handle edge (10), respectively, are arranged at alternating positions along a longitudinal extension of the gap (12).
