Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Raw Cookie Dough and Popular Chain Restaurants.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has warned people to stop eating raw cookie dough after a salmonella outbreak linked to the product sickened at least 18 people in six US states. Nine of those affected had eaten raw cookie dough from Papa Murphy’s Take ’N’ Bake Pizza. Raw flour can be contaminated with E. coli and salmonella, while unpasteurized eggs have been a carrier of salmonella. Both bacteria are killed in the cooking process, but contaminated food that is not cooked or is undercooked has been known to make people sick, according to the CDC.
