Cookie Dough Recall

[captain_slinky]

Nestle Tollhouse Cookie Dough being voluntarily recalled after several cases of deadly salmonella result from people eating the product raw.

SO! All you have to do is take the product THAT SAYS DO NOT EAT RAW RIGHT ON THE PACKAGING back to the store that you bought it at and get a full refund.

Or, alternately, you could NOT EAT THE COOKIE DOUGH RAW and instead follow the instructions on the package, making yourself a delicious batch of warm, delightful cookies that you can still eat and all the salmonella will have been killed by the cleansing fires of your very own oven.

Don't worry - eating a batch of fresh-baked cookies will still make you just as fat as eating a tube of raw cookie dough :)

Also please avoid eating raw Chicken, Pork, Eggs, Pancake Patter, Lighter Fluid and Ready-Light Mesquite Charcoal Briquettes so that we can avoid other such recalls this week. Thanks!

Was it salmonella and not e-coli? I guess it doesn't make that much of a difference if you're sick, but I thought everyone knew raw eggs can give you salmonella. Never stopped me from having a bit of cookie dough now and again, but it has made me wonder about Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough Ice Cream. I assume that they devised something that tasted like cookie dough minus the eggs.

Could it be pasteurization? The cookie dough Papa Murphy's sells, according to the girl behind the counter, is safe to eat raw because the eggs are treated somehow...I think she said pasteurization. Honestly I think I stopped listening once she said 'safe to eat raw.'

But I really like eating it raw. :-|

Really, CaptainSlinky...expecting people to actually READ the lable? What are you thinking?!

As for cookie dough ice cream, the cookie dough itself is made without eggs so as to avoid the whole salmonella thing. That little bit of trivia was courtesy of the FoodNetwork.
