(2) All multi-use parts of any bulk milk vending machine which comes into direct contact with the milk or milk product shall be effectively cleaned and bactericidally treated at the milk plant, provided that single-service dispensing tubes which receive bactericidal treatment at the fabricating plant and which are individually packaged in such manner as to preclude contamination, may be sealed with 2 seals in such manner as to make it impossible to withdraw any part of its contents without breaking one seal and impractical to introduce any substance without breaking the other seal. The delivery tube and any milk contact parts of the dispensing device shall be attached at the milk plant and shall be protected by a moisture proof covering which shall not be removed until after the container is placed in the refrigerated compartment of the vending machine.
