Nestle Recalls Toll House Cookie Dough Products - WSJ.com

WASHINGTON -- Federal health officials are warning consumers not to eat or bake prepackaged Nestle Toll House refrigerated cookie dough because of risks of an E.coli infection.

The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention along with state regulators are investigating a nationwide E.coli outbreak possibly linked to the Nestle USA's Toll House products. The company voluntarily recalled the products Friday.

The FDA reported that since March, the government has received 66 reports of illness in 28 states, and that 25 people were hospitalized, including seven with a severe complication. The FDA said no one had died.

Nestle USA said it hasn't found the E.coli strain implicated in the outbreak -- E.coli O157:H7 -- but the company recalled the products after the FDA told it about the investigation. Nestle said the products involved include all Nestle Toll House refrigerated cookie dough products, ranging from chocolate-chip bars to tubs of gingerbread cookie dough.
