I never eat raw dough of any kind since it made me really, really sick once. But the article says “raw or baked” — yow! What am I going to do now that I MUST have some chocolate chip cookies?

Cooking kills ecoli, but not the toxin it may have produced….

I Toll you these cookies tasted funny

The fat and sugar finally took their Toll

Toll the bell, bad cookies are about

Eat the cookie, pay the Toll

I can’t Toll her ate the cookies

“Nestle USA said it hasn’t found the E.coli strain implicated in the outbreak”

Oh, well, as long as they haven’t found THAT strain. So, ummm, what strains did they find?

Of course. When I make my own cookie dough, I bake it. If it comes in tubes, I eat it raw. I did lick the beaters when my mom made cookies when I was a child.

Tube cookies really need to be healthy to raw or society will melt down. I would never think of baking tube cookies.

Eating licking the bowl or beater is one thing, but in general she didn’t let me eat a lot of raw eggs. Did any one’s mom make a batch of cookie dough with no intention to bake? Since cookie dough started coming in tubes made with pasteurized eggs people will by them with the intention of not baking them. Of course this is just my observation.

My wife have bought this product, and I don’t recall her ever baking it. On a bad day she would eat it out the refrigerator cold. I would think that 20 minutes in a 400 degree F. oven would kill E. coli.

#4…Your mom never let you lick the mixer bowl and/or beaters? Poor deprived child!

Anyway, I really don’t see why Nestle is being blamed. The product is perfectly safe (if fattening) when used as directed.

#4, Travis,

Then you were neither a kid nor have any.

to me the funny thing is that nobody really ate cookie dough before it came in tubes.

Cookie dough should be healthy to eat raw. If I wanted to bake cookies, I would bake them from scratch.

When GWB was in office, this would have been used as an indictment of his administration and inability to protect our nation’s food supply. Claims would be made that his attention to stealing Iraqi oil prevented the FDA from doing its job, and that he panders to the Big Corporations and allows them to take cost-cutting shortcuts that kill us.

I’m just saying…
