WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration said Monday that it had confirmed the presence of E. coli 0157 in Nestle Toll House refrigerated cookie dough produced at the company’s plant in Danville, Va.
Investigators did not find the bacterium inside the factory or on equipment, but in a tub of chocolate cookie dough, said David Acheson, assistant commissioner for food safety.
Nestle recalled 30,000 cases of its refrigerated cookie dough on June 19.
Nearly all the 69 victims, most of them female and younger than 19, reported eating raw cookie dough in the days before getting sick. No one has died.
