Cookie Dough Recalled Over E. coli
(New York, NY) -- Nestle has issued a recall for Toll House refrigerated cookie dough products after E. coli bacteria was discovered in a sample. Now the FDA and Centers for Disease Control are looking into whether that cookie dough might have been the source of an E. coli outbreak covering 29 states. The FDA says the dough in question was produced at a Nestle facility in Danville, Virginia. Nestle has promised full cooperation with government agencies to track down the source of the bacteria that can, in severe cases, cause kidney failure. The company says the sample that tested positive for E. coli was from a 16-ounce Toll House refrigerated chocolate chip dough bar with a "best before June 10, 2009" label. Those products should be returned to stores for a full refund. |
