Nestlé’s US baked products division has ordered the voluntary recall of all its Toll House frozen cookie dough products after some people have reportedly fallen ill after eating the uncooked product.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), along with the Center for Disease Control, were reportedly conducting investigations regarding “reported e.coli 0157:H7 illnesses” related to the consumption of cookie dough.

Reported cases of people who had fallen ill after eating the product have numbered to around 66, with 25 being hospitalized. Nestlé, however, adds that the e.coli strain has not been detected in their products, along with the implication that the dough’s packaging strong suggested against eating the dough raw.toll-house-nestle
