Cookie dough recall announced

Yikes!

Nestlé USA recalled its Toll House refrigerated cookie dough Friday after health officials linked the dough to infections from the bacteria E. coli in as many as 66 people in 28 states.

The Food and Drug Administration advised consumers to throw out any Nestlé refrigerated cookie dough they may have. Although cooking may kill the bacteria, handling the raw dough could spread the contaminant to hands and cooking surfaces.

Nestlé is telling consumers to return cookie and brownie dough products to grocers for a full refund.

It's been about 40 years since I did this, but there was a time when I'd forget to cook those tubes of cookie dough and nibble on them straight from the fridge.
