The FDA said it found E. coli in a sample of Nestlé Toll House cookie dough collected from a facility in Danville, Va., and is now conducting further tests to figure out if it is the same strain that has sickened 69 individuals — mostly adolescent girls — around the country. The testing should be completed later this week, according to the WSJ . This is the same plant that refused to give FDA inspectors access to certain records in the past. Nestlé issued a voluntary recall on its pre-packaged cookie dough on June 19 after it was alerted by

the FDA. How the bacteria ended up in the product is still a mystery. The concern with eating raw cookie dough usually is usually salmonella since it can be found in raw eggs, notes the Washington Post. Nestlé said it “continues to work closely and in full cooperation with the FDA on the ongoing investigation. We are very concerned about those who have become ill from E. coli 0157:H7, and deeply regret that this has occurred,” according to a company statement . Photo: Getty Images
