    Could it be that they maybe got sick cuz they ate a whole thing of raw cookie dough? All of the butter, rather then E. coli got to them. Just sayin'.

    @Malaficent: Um, are you serious?? You do realize the symptoms of indegestion from eating too much butter are waaaay different than e. coli food poisoning, right? The latter will have you vomiting uncontrollably, and have diarrhea so badly that it becomes bloody.

    @Eloisa to Abelard: I did end up getting it! It was funny, and the guy's voice (sort of like Troy McClure) is very emphatic when he repeats, "Do not eat raw cookie dough!" twice.


    Good of Costco to be so quick with it-- I no longer have my tub, but since they know I bought it, I'll bring the leftover cookie dough in the zip lock it's stored in my freezer and see if they'll refund. Can't hurt to try, and I'm cheap like that!

    Am I the ONLY person who never eats raw dough and batter due to fears of contamination? I am kind of obsessive about germs and chemicals and whatnot, but I thought raw batter avoidance was one of my more normal habits.

    Two things:


    1. The e.coli that makes you sick from eggs is usually on the shell of the egg, not from the product within the shell. So if you want to make cookies and eat the dough, wash the eggs with soap and water before cracking them open.


    2. I actually have Tollhouse dough in my fridge as we speak. And I was eating it raw just the other night. I am fine, so I would imagine my batch is not contaminated, but still, I shall throw it out just to be on the safe side. This makes me immensely sad. I could cook it but I like my chocolate chip cookies not fully cooked, which would defeat the purpose of cooking the dough to kill the bacteria. LE SIGH.

    @Runaddict: I served 3 batches of cookies from a Costco tub of this at a party 2 weeks ago, froze the rest, and had some raw last night.


    Thank goodness no sickness in all that, so I guess my batch is okay, but I'm still throwing what's left in the freezer out. I don't have the original tub anymore, so no refund sadly!

    Somewhere, my mother is saying "I told you so" right now.


    I'm sure I'll get it again later over the phone or in person. She goes for the comprehensive approach to being proven right.

    Dear Makers of Cookie Dough,


    Do you really think people are buying your dough to MAKE COOKIES? Seriously now. Drunkies, high kiddos, and chicks like me all intend to eat this stuff straight up, with a spoon. You HAVE to know this is a decent part of your market.


    Which means, warning or no, this is a forseen likely misuse of the product...

    Question: Would the homemade stuff be less likely to contain E. Coli?

    @K: I think raw egg = raw egg, and you always face the risk of getting e.coli or salmonella.

    I'm taking this as a challenge to see how much raw cookie dough I can eat without getting E. Coli.
