Two federal agencies warned consumers Friday not to eat raw Nestle Toll House refrigerated cookie dough. The company said it is recalling an estimated 300,000 cases of the dough as a precaution after reports of food-borne illness in 28 states.

I have never bought this and sure won't now. Too many unsafe products anymore. Thanks Kathy.

Slightly off topic -- or maybe not -- When will they ban "corn fed beef" the source of E Coli 01 157 H7. It is Soooooooo IRONIC to me that the head office for "Ontario Corn Fed Beef" is in Walkerton -- where many people died or were sickened in the Walkerton Water Crisis. I do want to do a story on this -- seems such a shame that the truth has been kept from Canadians this long. So few people know that this e coli is as a direct result of feeding high % grain diets to ruminants. Go Grass Fed, It is Natural

Thank you Kathy! Moral of the story: if you want to eat cookies make them from scratch (with wholegrain organic and not GM flours, free-running chicken eggs and - this for you Cowboss my friend - grass-fed cow milk! :) :) )

I agree on eating the cookies that are purely hand-made and organic: the best kind! And for those who are addicted to anything cookie dough (I'm guilty!!), the ice cream is safe because it's actually cooked prior to making it into the ice cream. Great read, thank you for the information!
