Nestle USA recalls Toll House cookie dough products

[FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Solon, OH - June 19, 2009 - Nestlé USA’s Baking Division is initiating a voluntary recall of Nestlé® TOLL HOUSE® refrigerated cookie dough products. Nestlé is taking this action out of an abundance of caution after being notified that the Food and Drug Administration, together with the Centers for Disease Control, are conducting an investigation into reported E. coli 0157:H7 illnesses that may be related to consumption of raw cookie dough.

A number of consumers reporting illness reported consuming raw Nestlé TOLL HOUSE refrigerated cookie dough. While the E. coli strain implicated in this investigation has not been detected in our product, the health and safety of our consumers is paramount so we are initiating this voluntary recall. We have been and will continue to cooperate fully with the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control in this investigation. Providing safe, high quality products to our consumers is our number one priority.]

Thanks...I need to warn my DD about it...she loves eating that stuff raw...just goes to show I'm smart in making homemade!! And eating them cooked...:rolleyes:

People need to cook their food properly and wash their hands and their cooking and baking equipment and their countertops, etc. It's not like the old days where you could snatch a piece of unbaked cookie dough. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

What about cookie dough ice cream? Is that the same kind of dough used to bake actual cookies?

It's not?! http://i.pbase.com/o6/90/417990/1/84...babycrying.gif

Thats the whole point in buying cookie dough! If I wanna make cookies I'll make them from scratch!

Not me, the only time I make scratch is at the holiday. Any other time, give me my packaged dough and move right along. LOL

We always used to eat raw cookie dough. I wonder why - same raw eggs back then! -we never got sick, or heard of it happening to anyone else?

Maybe they did, we just didn't know what caused it?

I make cookies replacing each egg with 1/4 cup applesauce - dd is a vegan and ds is allergic to eggs. Most recipes come out exactly the same with the switch.

So if you want, you can eat that cookie dough raw. Yay, happy days are here again!

:D
