The FDA has found E. coli in an unopened package of Nestle Toll House cookie dough. This may be the “smoking gun” that would link the cookie dough to an E. coli outbreak that has sickened at least 69 people in 29 states.
According to a Nestle news release:
Nestlé USA’s Baking Division was informed today by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that it has found and confirmed evidence of E. coli 0157:H7 in a retained production sample of 16.5 oz. Nestlé Toll House refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough bar. The product has a day code of 9041 and a “Best before 10 JUN 2009” notation.
Our law firm has received a number of contacts from people who became ill after consuming raw cookie dough. Many of these people have leftover cookie dough in their refrigerators, and it is possible that some of the leftover cookie dough will test positive for the outbreak strain of E. coli O157:H7.
We are providing information on testing leftover Nestle Toll House cookie dough for E. coli.
