Calling all ladies! Feeling blue? Perhaps it's 'that time of the month?' Do not reach for a roll of Nestle's Cookie Dough to get you through the slump - you very well might end up in the hospital. Here are the details, via Bitten & Bound:[Nestle USA's Baking division has initiated a voluntary
recall of all Nestle Toll House refrigerated cookie dough products. They are cooperating with the FDA and
Center of Disease Control in an investigation following an E.Coli outbreak that
has sickened 66 people, with 25 of them requiring hospitalization. According to
the Nestle website, those who have become ill ate raw cookie dough-a dangerous
practice because of the uncooked eggs in the product. E.Coli is a potentially fatal bacteria that can be contracted
by ingesting contaminated food.
Symptoms include severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea, vomiting and
low-grade fever. Consumers should return products to their local grocer for a
full refund. Nestle has also
provided a hotline phone number for consumer questions at 1-800-559-5025.]
Be careful, peeps! Make your own cookie dough, bake it and then eat it - for your own safety.
