According to an announcement by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), nearly 30,000 cases of cookie dough are being recalled due to potential Salmonella contamination. Though the recall was initiated on May 2, 2024, it remains ongoing.
The Rise Baking Company (under its subsidiary, South Coast Baking) is voluntarily recalling cases of cookie dough shipped across the nation. The recall includes eight different products sold at Costco, Sam's Club, and Panera Bread, among others.
Trippin' Through Time
A lemmy replacement for the r/trippinthroughtime sub.
I got it from eating peanut butter once.
Can you pasteurize the dough with sous vide to make it safe to eat but not change the texture?
I make edible cookie dough all the time. You just need to bake or microwave the flour for a couple minutes until it hits 165. It doesn't have eggs, but the odds of catching something from them is super low anyway.
Ah man raw flour is my favorite.
Doubtful, as the cookies normally have butter in them and the sous vide would melt the butter causing issues with the dough.
Can you sous vide the eggs to pasteurize them before you put them in the dough?
Yes, and the flour as well which should make it safe (raw flour has salmonella). The eggs would be better/easier to just buy pasteurized egg whites and yolks though.
What's even better is raw Brownie batter. That shit is fudgy chocolatey goodness that cannot be contained. I use that instead of chocolate syrup over vanilla ice cream and just... you'll never believe how amazing it is. you can warm the batter up in the microwave (without it baking into a brownie) and drizzle it on with a fork. Just do it already
Cook the dry ingredients at 350f/176-177C for a few minutes first and do not add eggs if you are doing this to reduce risks.
