Nestle Recalls All Varieties Of Refrigerated Cookie Dough

HARTFORD — The Connecticut Department of Public Health (CT DPH), in cooperation with the US Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, are warning consumers not to eat any varieties of prepackaged Nestle Toll House refrigerated cookie dough due to the risk of contamination with E. coli O157:H7 (a bacterium that causes food-borne illness).

The CT DPH is currently investigating one case of E. coli that may be related to the Nestle recall.

The CT DPH advises that if consumers have any prepackaged, refrigerated Nestle Toll House cookie dough products in their home that they throw them away. Cooking the dough is not recommended because consumers might get the bacteria on their hands and on other cooking surfaces.

Retailers, restaurateurs, and personnel at other food-service operations should not sell or serve any Nestle Toll House prepackaged, refrigerated cookie dough products subject to the recall.
