Nestlé Toll House Refrigerated Cookie Dough

[PopsicleToze]

I did a search to see if we had a topic on this but didn't come up with anything. I would think that's because members here make their own cookie dough. However, with teenagers in the house -- you never know what they'll pick up.

This was just received this morning in my email direct from Nestle. It has been confirmed that E. coli was found in their refrigerated cookie dough.

I'm posting it because EVEN AFTER I SENT THE NOTICE TO MY 21-YR OLD NIECE, she told me that she was going to keep eating it anyway. I sent it back to her with a picture I googled showing an E. coli victim lying in a hospital bed showing what her flesh looked like. She got the message.

So, even if you don't make it, you might want to remind your kids...

We want to keep you informed of the latest information regarding the situation with NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Refrigerated Cookie Dough. Nestlé continues to work closely and in full cooperation with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on its ongoing investigation. Unfortunately, on Monday, June 29, Nestlé was informed by the FDA that it confirmed evidence of E. coli 0157:H7 in a sample of our refrigerated cookie dough (for more details please see our press release on www.VeryBestBaking.com). We are very concerned about those who have become ill from E. coli, and deeply regret that this has occurred.

Nestlé was first made aware of the FDA and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) investigation late Wednesday, June 17. Less than 24 hours later, we made the decision to voluntarily withdraw all of our retail NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Refrigerated Cookie Dough from the marketplace because the safety of our customers has always been and will continue to be our number one priority. We announced the voluntary recall on Friday morning, June 19.

As we have stated before, you can rest assured that no other NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® products are impacted, including already baked NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® cookies purchased outside the home, all varieties of NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® morsels, chocolate baking bars, or cocoa, and Dreyer's and Edy's ice cream products with NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® cookie dough ingredients.

We are asking that if you have any unused NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® refrigerated cookie dough at home that you return it to your local grocer for a refund. I would also like to ask you for your support by helping us spread the word to your friends and family and remind them that raw cookie dough should not be eaten.

Please visit VeryBestBaking.com for regular updates or contact Nestlé Consumer Services with questions at 1-800-559-5025. I will continue to send you updates as we learn more.

With much appreciation for your loyalty and continued support,

Vice President, Nestlé Baking Division
