A lemmy replacement for the r/trippinthroughtime sub.
A few years back, there was a major salmonella outbreak from eating raw cookie dough. Several people died, but most recovered, although i recall one woman who had lots of complications, and will never be right again.
Don't eat raw commetcial cookie dough, unless you made it yourself.
Making it yourself is no guarantee it will be safe, unless you know exactly what you’re doing.
Sounds like a USA problem.
Come to Germany, here you can even eat raw pork! It's called Met and it's delicous.
The Bundesinstitut für Risikoforschung (BfR) recommends to not eat raw dough, not because of salmonella but E. Coli and EHEC. Check out this publication: https://www.bfr.bund.de/cm/429/010_stec_ehec-infektionen_durch_rohen_teig.pdf
Nothing stops you eating raw pork here other than that pork used to be riddled with diseases in "ye good ole days," and the fear still exists. You can buy it raw and eat it that way if you want.
Until USDA is gutted.
Still won't be illegal. Just probably would actually be full of parasites again.
Some creepy video appeared to me yesterday where a woman poured soda on raw pork and a bunch of worms emerged. Seen it?
mett, met is honey wine :D
UHHH
The last guy who asked the same thing got told to go ahead and try. He hasn't been heard from since. Some say he's just not finished trying the infinite variety of cookie dough.
According to an announcement by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), nearly 30,000 cases of cookie dough are being recalled due to potential Salmonella contamination. Though the recall was initiated on May 2, 2024, it remains ongoing.
The Rise Baking Company (under its subsidiary, South Coast Baking) is voluntarily recalling cases of cookie dough shipped across the nation. The recall includes eight different products sold at Costco, Sam's Club, and Panera Bread, among others.
Raw eggs are no problem I've seen Rocky
the risk mostly comes from the flour
Make vegan cookies, problem solved
It's not just salmonella from the egg, it's also e coli from the raw flour.
If you want to make yourself cookie dough, remember to bake loose flour for a bit first to kill any microbes in that, too.
You can make your own edible cooking dough. You just have to pasteurize the eggs and flour. If I'm not mistaken, I think the flour is more dangerous than the eggs.
There are even shops which sell edible cookie dough pre-made if you'd prefer the convenience.
