2009 E. Coli Outbreak Serves as a Reminder of Risks of Eating Raw Cookie Dough
Dec. 9, 2011 -- Raw cookie dough, whether it's homemade or store-bought, should be destined for your oven, not your mouth.
That's one of the CDC's top lessons from the 2009 E. coli O157:H7 outbreak in refrigerated Nestle Toll House cookie dough products.
During the outbreak, 77 people in 30 states became ill after eating the dough before baking it. Of these, 35 people were hospitalized. The outbreak prompted a recall of 3.6 million packages of cookie dough and some changes in the way that Nestle and other companies manufacture their cookie dough.
That was the first time an E. coli outbreak was traced to ready-to-bake commercial prepackaged cookie dough. The details of the outbreak and the steps taken to control it appear in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.

- The risk of contracting salmonella from raw egg is most commonly cited as the reason to steer clear of eating raw cookie dough and cake batter—not the flour. The eggs in Nestle's prepacked cookie dough are pasteurized, meaning the risk of contracting salmonella from them is even lower.Nov 17, 2014
Well, I'm very sad to say, I ate about half a roll over the past couple of days. Maybe the alcohol in the wine will kill any bacteria. All the fun things are becoming bad for you.
I eat raw cookie dough all the time. It's in the food pyramid. Yes. Yes it is.
I'm also guilty of undercooking brownies so they are gooey. I'm actually having a gooey brownie with my Barefoot Chardonnay right now. I like to live on the edge.
We used to clean out the bowl after Mom made the cookies in the oven when we were kids and never got sick.
Raw cookie dough rocks.
