Nestlé USA's Baking Division has recalled all varieties of Nestlé TOLL HOUSE refrigerated cookie dough products, including their Cookie Bar Dough, Cookie Dough Tub, Cookie Dough Tube, Limited Edition Cookie Dough items, Seasonal Cookie Dough and Ultimates Cookie Bar Dough.
The Nestle cookie dough recall was prompted by an investigation by the FDA
and CDC that E. coli 0157 illnesses may be related to people who eat raw cookie dough. So far, in the current E. coli outbreak, there have been 66 cases of E. coli in 28 states since March 2009.
Consumers should throw away recalled packages of Nestle cookie dough (or get a refund from their local grocery store) and should remember to never eat raw cookie dough, even if it is not involved in a recall. Baking recalled cookie dough is not a safe option either, according to the FDA. And be sure to call your doctor if your child has any E. coli symptoms, including abdominal cramping, vomiting and diarrhea, especially if he recently eat any of the recalled Nestle Tollhouse products.
