E. coli Outbreak Revealed Danger of Eating Raw Flour article recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine describes the challenging investigation of a 2016 Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) outbreak. This investigation was the first to confirm flour as the source of an outbreak of STEC infections. Its findings point to the health risks of eating uncooked dough or batter and of giving homemade play-dough to children, due to harmful germs that could be in raw flour as well as in raw eggs.
Learn more by reading CDC’s feature on raw dough, also available in Spanish.
