Raw Dough Linked to Salmonella Outbreak Hospitalizes 3

A Salmonella outbreak has infected at least 12 people across 11 US states, with raw dough or batter being the likely source of the bacteria. The CDC has warned against eating uncooked dough or batter, as flour and eggs may contain germs that cause food poisoning. The agency is working to identify a specific brand of flour linked to the outbreak, which occurred between December 2022 and February 2023. To reduce the risk of Salmonella in raw dough, experts recommend using heat-treated flour or baking the dough before eating.
