CDC Warns of Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Raw Flour and Cookie Dough in Multiple States

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating a Salmonella outbreak linked to flour in at least 11 states, including Illinois. Twelve people have been infected, with three hospitalized. Most people reported eating raw dough or batter made with flour before getting sick, and flour was the only common ingredient in the raw dough or batter that those infected reported eating. The CDC is working to identify a specific brand of flour linked to illnesses, and no brand recalls have currently been issued.
