Not surprisingly, the FDA has found a sample of prepackaged Nestlé Toll House refrigerated cookie dough that was contaminated with the E. coli O157 bacteria. Previously, the FDA strongly suspected that the cookie dough was to blame, since many infected people said that they had eaten raw refrigerated prepackaged Nestle Toll House cookie dough products, but they had not actually found any contaminated cookie dough.
Remember that an E. coli outbreak prompted the recall of all varieties of prepackaged Nestlé Toll House refrigerated cookie dough earlier this month. So far, there have been reports of 69 people getting infected in this outbreak in 29 states.
Although news of the recall is not being publicized as much as it was when it was first announced, it is important to remember to get rid of any recalled Nestlé Toll House cookie dough that you may still have in your home and watch your kids for E. coli symptoms.

When will Nestle cookie dough be back in stores? I have several coupons that expire 9/19 so it looks like I will lose them.
