Killer Cookies!

Today I was looking on the CNN webpage and was cruising around checking what was in the news, and I saw an article about contaminated cookie dough made by Nestle. Okay, isn't Nestle THE cookie company, the ones who pretty much invented the chocolate chip cookie?

It seems that Nestle is doing the right thing by not selling the product. Sadly, about 200 people will be layed off because the factory isn't making the cookie dough for now. If there were better food safety rules, then maybe the cookie dough wouldn't have gotten contaminated, and the company would still be producing and not loosing money. Even more important is the fact that with better food safety rules and procedures, there wouldn't be 70 people sick right now.

Even though eating raw cookie dough is so yummy, be sure to cook it completely so if there is any bad stuff in it, the heat will kill it. Besides, cookies that are warm and gooey are way better than cold dough!

  1. I saw the article too, makes you wonder if some of the inspectors are just pencil pushers and not really completing the task as they should. Reminder to do your best always, you never know who it will affect if you slack off. Love you girl, hope your summer is great. Aunty Corey
