In a process for dispensing a powdery product (P) from a container ( ) with a dispensing nozzle ( ) aimed downwards, a flexible section ( ) of the container ( ) is deformed at least near the dispensing nozzle ( ). This is achieved preferably by a movement of the container relative to the dispensing nozzle, in a direction with a component at a right angle to the dispensing nozzle. The movement of the container ( ) and the dispensing of a portion of product from the dispensing nozzle ( ) can take place immediately after one another. The invention also comprises a device for dispensing a powdery product (P), with which the process can be carried out and bridge and tunnel formation in the powdery product is opposed effectively.
