Raw cookie dough is soooo yummy, but some people with weak immune systems have gotten E. coli poisoning from it, and now we all have to suffer because Nestle is recalling their Toll House cookie dough products, even though some 66 reported illnesses haven't been linked directly to Toll House. The voluntary recall includes refrigerated cookie bar dough, cookie dough tub, cookie dough tubes, seasonal cookie dough and—it gets worse—Ultimates cookie bar dough! We don't know what that is, but it's the Ultimates so we want it in our mouth holes. The Toll House products do have warnings on their packaging about the dangers of raw dough, but with the FDA and CDC now investigating the E. coli/cookie dough connection, the company decided it would be best to just take it out of harm's way, like we're irresponsible children who'll eat whatever's in front of us. And in other corporate food product news, Pizza Hut execs would like you to start calling their company "The Hut," which they think "ties in nicely with (today's) texting generation." cu@hut l8r?

toll house has sold dough for at least 13 years; they're only now realizing that people eat it raw? and maybe we wouldn't eat so much of it raw if it weren't for the fact that it tastes better raw! so sad!
i like it raw.
Shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yeah, shimmy yay...
i like it raw.
just make your own fucking cookie dough for fucks sake. it's cheaper and very easy. if a lobotomized stepford housewife can do it, so can the average gothamist reader.

We specialize in Troll House Cookies.
But how does this affect cookie dough ice cream?
Cookie dough in ice cream aren't made with eggs. So it's safe.
Eating cookie dough raw has always carried some risk of food poisoning but I was of the understanding that the typical danger of eating raw cookie dough was danger of salmonella poisoning due to the ingredients in cookie dough (i.e. raw eggs, etc.).
E. coli is another story, as that results almost exclusively from some kind of fecal contamination. So who's been shittin' in the cookie dough?
Seconded SJ, you expect salmonella from cookie dough, not e. coli.
And everyone eats it raw. I used to make cookie dough and eat it raw and stick the rest in the fridge to eat later. I never got sick. Mmmm...now I want cookie dough.
Third. Salmonella is why you shouldn't let your kids lick the spoon when you make a cake batter. e coli is from poo. Why is there poo in the cookie dough, mommy?

This is all a sophisticated piece of sabotage by MeMe Roth to get people to stop eating cookies and cookie dough. At least that's what Oliver Stone told me.
So true, I just posted almost the same comment on another site. How did fecal matter get in the cookie dough? Was it mouse poop like I suspect caused the recent peanut butter problem?
P.S. if you take SP's advice (comment #4)and make your own cookie dough and you're STILL scared about eating raw dough, use an egg alternative product, like Egg Beaters, they are pasteurized.
