Nestle has recalled Toll House cookie dough due to possible E. coli that has sickened 66 people in 28 different states. According to ABC News, many of the afflicted people reportedly had eaten some of the cookie dough within a period of time surrounding their illness.
Nestle has made a public statement that there has been no conclusive evidence of E. coli being found in any of their tested product.
Though many people enjoy the taste of raw cookie dough, and in some cases prefer it to the actual cooked cookie dough, Nestle stated they have warnings on cookie dough labels warning that people shouldn’t eat it raw.
A Nestle facility in Danville has been shut down and is crawling with inspectors.
Carbon neutral pledge:
I love the Chocolate chip raw cookie dough. Much better than the cookies to come home after work and down a square or two. Reminds me of cooking with Mom.
