‘Tis the season to bake cookies, but you really shouldn’t eat the raw cookie dough, warns the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The agency warns that eating or tasting unbaked products can make you sick as raw flour and eggs can contain bacteria and salmonella.
Flour is typically a raw agricultural product and hasn’t been treated to kill germs like E. coli, also, raw eggs can contain salmonella. I know it’s tempting as a cookie dough lover myself; but just say NO to raw cookie dough!
