"Because eating raw cookie dough is such a popular pastime (during the investigation, several people noted that they bought the uncooked batter with the intention to eat it as is), CDC researchers recommended manufacturers make the product safer as a ready-to-eat product."

Maybe cookie dough needs to be irradiated to kill the E Coli since some people insist on eating it raw.Idiots.

I can mine raw because it’s made from eggs from my chickens who have been tested by the state.

I guess you could take your fate into your own hands and make your own cookie dough?

CDC study author Dr. Karen Neil said researchers believe the problem was in the flour.

A non-answer.

E. coli is an organism found only in the intestines of mammals. And the strains that make people sick are pretty much limited to herbivores such as cattle and deer.

So how did the bacteria get into the flour? It certainly wasn't living in the wheat.

Sounds like somebody needs to come out with a cookie dough and advertise that it’s safe to eat raw! I love raw cookie dough and think it’s much tastier than the cooked cookies. I love cake batter, too, and since there’s now cookie dough and cake batter flavored ice cream, it appears I’m not the only one.
