(HealthDay News) -- No matter how tempting it is to sneak a taste of raw cookie dough, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says you shouldn't. Raw dough can harbor dangerous bacteria.
The CDC suggests:
Never eat raw dough or batter.
Don't let children play with or eat raw dough, including dough for crafts.
Make sure raw dough is cooked to the proper temperature.
Don't eat shakes or ice cream with products that contain raw dough or flour.
Keep raw foods, such as flour or eggs, separate from ready-to eat-foods.
Refrigerate products containing raw dough or eggs until they are cooked.
After handling flour, eggs, or raw dough, wash your hands with soap and water. And thoroughly clean all bowls, utensils and countertops that were used.
