Why are FDA and CDC warning the public not to eat Nestlé Toll House Cookie Dough?
The FDA/CDC warning is based on investigations by CDC and state and local health agencies of an outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 infections beginning in March. The latest information from those investigations indicates the illnesses are associated with Nestlé Toll House cookie dough products eaten raw. As a result, FDA and CDC are warning consumers not to eat any variety of Nestlé Toll House cookie dough products until further notice. • Are Nestlé cookie dough products being recalled? Yes. As a precaution, Nestlé USA, the manufacturer of Toll House cookie dough, is voluntarily recalling all of its Nestlé Toll House refrigerated cookie dough products, which include several flavors, sizes and container types. A complete list of the recalled Nestlé products is available at this link to the firm’s website: http://www.nestleusa.com/PubNews/PressReleaseLibraryDetails.aspx?id=133CC131-A79F-4E84-9C43-C9F99FE5BC99.
