On Wednesday, Nestle USA released a press statement confirming the presence of E. coli O157:H7 in two samples of its Toll House refrigerated cookie dough. The contaminated samples, which were made at a Danville, Virginia factory, were found after Nestle implemented scrupulous new safety techniques following a nationwide E. coli outbreak in the spring of 2009.
Although the cookie dough tested positive for E. coli O157:H7, Nestle said the finished product never left the factory or entered the food supply chain, and none was shipped to customers. Therefore, the press release says, "product currently on store shelves displaying the 'New Batch' sticker is not affected, and no product is being recalled."
