We just got word that Nestle is making a major recall. The recall was prompted by the FDA because there have been 66 reports thus far that people who have ate the products uncooked have has E. Coli poisoning. The Nestle Cookie dough recall which was issued today, June 19th, 2009, includes a large assortment of different TOLL HOUSE refrigerated cookie dough products. These products include but are not limited to Cookie Bar Dough, Cookie Dough Tub, Cookie Dough Tube, Limited Edition Cookie Dough items, Seasonal Cookie Dough and Ultimates Cookie Bar Dough.


Now is it just me, or are people just a little ignorant now a days? I’ve known since I was probably 10 years old that eating raw cookie dough is never a safe option. Nestle may be getting a lot of bad publicity with this mess, but it’s the 66 people who decided they couldn’t wait 20 minutes for the dough to cook, who are to blame. All kidding aside, the FDA has stated that eating the dough, even cooked could be dangerouse and has advised all people with the Nestle products I listed above to either throw it away or return it to the store it was bought at for a full, no questions asked refund.

Symptoms of E Coli from Cookie Dough
If you were to eat the tainted yummy cookie dough, you may find yourself not feeling so great. If you have any of the following symptoms, see a doctor immediately: Fever, upset stomach, diarrhea, stomach cramping, or vomiting. E. Coli will usually cure itself on it’s own, but the elderly and very young could be in a bit more trouble.
