novapsycheNestle Cookie Dough Tied to 66 Illnesses From E. Coli
I love raw cookie dough; I eat it infrequently, about once a month. If I weren't monitoring my diet right now, I'd probably would have picked some up. Indeed, I prefer Toll House dough because it has no trans fat, compared to Pillsbury.
Warn others about this recall, especially those with small children.
Nestle SA recalled 47 varieties of Toll House cookie dough while U.S. regulators investigate 66 cases of food poisoning in 28 states that may be linked to the products.
The outbreak sent 25 people to hospitals since March with symptoms of cramps, diarrhea and vomiting, according to a notice posted today on the Food and Drug Administration's Web site. Seven had a complication that can cause kidney damage or death, the agency said. Nestle USA is recalling all refrigerated cookie dough products because of "the risk of contamination with E. coli bacteria," the FDA said.
