NEW YORK — Children across the country were left crying for their cookie dough Friday after Nestle recalled all of its Toll House refrigerated cookie dough products. The recall comes after dozens of people were sicked by consuming the dough the way many kiddies — and some adults — like to eat it, raw.

The federal Centers for Disease Control said its preliminary investigation shows "a strong association" between eating raw refrigerated cookie dough made by Nestle and the illnesses of 65 people in 29 states whose lab results have turned up E. coli bacteria since March.

About 25 of those people have been hospitalized, but no one has died online payday loans. E. coli is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration and, in the most severe cases, kidney failure.

Nestle USA voluntarily recalled all of its Toll House refrigerated cookie dough products after the Food and Drug Administration advised consumers to throw away any Nestle Toll House cookie dough products in their homes and asked retailers, restaurateurs and other food-service operations not to sell or serve any of the refrigerated cookie dough products.
