Nestle Recalls Cookie Dough Products
Nestle USA voluntarily recalled its Toll House refrigerated cookie dough products after a number of illnesses were reported by consumers who ate the dough raw. The FDA and the Center for Disease Control are investigating reported E.coli illnesses that might be related to the ingestion of raw cookie dough. E. coli is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause abdominal cramping, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting. Young children and the elderly are at highest risk for developing Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (“HUS”), which can lead to serious kidney damage and even death.
In a statement released today, the FDA said that there have been 66 reported illnesses across 28 states since March. No one has died from the consumption of the raw cookie dough; however there have been 25 people hospitalized, 7 with HUS. The FDA advises consumers to throw away any prepackaged, refrigerated Nestle Toll House cookie dough products that they may have in their homes. The FDA is also advising retailers, restaurants, and employees at other food service operations not to sell or serve any Nestle Toll House cookie dough products.
The recall includes refrigerated cookie dough, cookie dough tubs, cookie dough tubes, limited edition cookie dough items, seasonal cookie dough, and Ultimate cookie bar dough. It does not affect any other Toll House products.
