Nestlé is taking this action out of an abundance of caution after being notified that the Food and Drug Administration, together with the Centers for Disease Control, are conducting an investigation into reported E. coli 0157:H7 illnesses that may be related to consumption of raw cookie dough.

A number of consumers reporting illness reported consuming raw Nestlé Toll House refrigerated cookie dough. While the E. coli strain implicated in this investigation hasn't been detected in the product, Nestlé is still initiating the voluntary recall.

Nestlé will continue to cooperate fully with the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control in this investigation. No other Nestlé Toll House products are impacted, including already baked Toll House cookies purchased outside the home, all varieties of Nestlé Toll House morsels, chocolate baking bars or cocoa, and Dreyer's and Edy's ice cream products with Nestlé Toll House cookie dough ingredients.
