Nestle Tollhouse Cookie Dough Recall

I found this story and wanted to share it with you.

IMPORTANT NEWS: Nestle Tollhouse is voluntary recalling it’s refrigerated cookie dough products. That is over 40 products. According to the press release:

Nestlé is taking this action out of an abundance of caution after being notified that the Food and Drug Administration, together with the Centers for Disease Control, are conducting an investigation into reported E. coli 0157:H7 illnesses that may be related to consumption of raw cookie dough.

1-800-559-5025 and visit their web site at www.verybestbaking.com.

Nestle also wants to remind everyone that~like it states on the label~you should cook their cookie dough before eating.

Note: Kudos to Nestle and their PR Firm Publicis for getting this information into the hands of the social media folks as quickly as the regular news media. Due to my association with Stouffers/Nestle via the “Let’s Fix Dinner” event, this wound up in my inbox at 10:30 am EST on the day of the Press Relase.
