FDA Reasserts Multi-State 0157:H7 E.Coli Outbreak Linked to Nestle Toll House Refridgerated Cookie Dough

In a recent announcement, the FDA reasserts the multi-state 0157:H7 E. Coli outbreak  is linked to Nestle Toll House refridgerated cookie dough. The contaminated sample was collected at Nestle’s facility in Danville, Va. on June 25, 2009.

Meanwhile, the Center for Disease Control announced as of  Tuesday, June 30, 2009, 72 people in 30 states have been infected with a strain of E. coli 0157:H7. The ill range in age from 2 to 65 but 65% are under the age of 19. Thirty four people have been hospitalized and 10 have developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

Both the CDC and the FDA state further laboratory testing is underway to determine whether the E. coli strain in the Nestle refridgerated, prepackaged cookie dough products match the strain causing the outbreak.

June 19th, Nestle announced a voluntary recall of the Nestle Toll House refridgerated cookie dough stating the FDA had found evidence of E. coli in a production sample of a refridgerated chocolate chip cookie dough bar.

Risk of E.Coli 0157 Prompts Nestle to Initiate Recall of Prepackaged Cookie Dough

The risk of E.coli 0157 has prompted Nestle USA’s Baking Division to voluntarily initiate a recall of all Nestle Toll House refridgerated, prepackaged cookie dough products.

The Food and Drug Administration said there have been 66 reports of  illness in 28 states since March 2009. Seven of those with a severe complication called Hemolylic Uremic Syndrome or HUS. 

E. coli 0157 is a bacterium that causes food borne illness. The symptoms of E. coli include cramping, vomiting and diarrhea often with bloody stools. Young children and the elderly are at highest risk  of developing HUS which can cause kidney damage and even death.

Usually E. coli 0157 is diagnosed with a stool sample.

No other Nestle products are involved including baked Toll House cookies purchased outside the home, all varities of Nestle Toll House Morsels, Chocolate Baking Bars or Cocoa and Dreyer’s and Edy’s ice cream with Nestle Toll House cookie dough ingredients.

For a full list of the prepackaged cookie dough products that Nestle has initiated a recall on because of E. coli 0157 risk, you can visit their Very Best Baking website.
