A gripper for capturing and transporting a food product. In one implementation the gripper has first and second arms having first end portions that cooperate with each other to capture the food product. In a first pivot position the first end portion of the first arm is positioned to cooperate with the first end portion of the second arm to capture the food product, whereas in a second pivot position the first end portion of the first arm is positioned not to cooperate with the first end portion of the second arm. The gripper has an expandable fluid chamber that in an expanded state acts on a portion of the first arm to cause the first arm to assume the first pivot position.
