Here's a link to the CDC about E coli. There are lots of different kinds of E coli, some beneficial, most harmless. A few really nasty.

We all have certain amounts of e.coli in our bodies anyhow. As long as it stays where it's s'pose to no problem.
The reason I know this is because my DH almost died from systemic e.coli in 2007. It was fine in his gallbladder, not causing any trouble, until his bile duct got blocked by a gallstone. Stuck in the gallbladder it multiplied and when the stone moved it was released into his bloodstream.
Shut down his kidneys and his liver, attacked his muscles and was working on his heart and brain by the time I got him to the hospital. Doctors gave him a 50/50 chance.
He still suffers from the aftereffects to this day. His immune system will never be normal again.
I don't eat foods that are meant to be cooked first, period.

Makes me wonder just what Nestle is using for those chocolate chips??? Poop?

What ingriedient in that dough could have e-coli? I make my own so I don't have a label around, but isn't there alot of chemicals in that stuff?

This morning on CNN, they said it might be the eggs. The company said the eggs were pasterized and the raw cookie dough is not meant to be eaten raw. HUH??? If the eggs were pasterized, at least it is safe to EAT!! Come on guys, what is it going to be this time?!
Either the eggs were NOT pasterized OR you guys didnt get the equipment cleaned sufficently!

So much for eating those cookies raw...I LOVE THEM!

Frequently, it comes from employees not washing their hands after visiting the restroom.
