D-listed and the problem with raw cookie dough

Michael K of celebrity blog D-listed encapsulates the problem with Nestle, raw cookie dough, labels and E. coli O157:H7, which has so far sickened 66 people in 28 states.

If you get the craving to eat cookie dough this weekend, lick this picture and don't eat the real thing or you may doody until you dieeeeeee. … This weekend the grocery stores are totally going to be full of single depressed ladies trading in their unused cookie dough for SnackWells.

Why do they always recall delicious things? They never recall crap like peas or multi-grain Cheerios. … I always eat raw cookie dough. I tell myself that I'm going to bake it like a normal person, but then suddenly the bowl is empty and I have the guilties.

As one of those odd people that like raw cookie dough: if you are making cookie dough at home and use pasteurized eggs, is the food reasonably safe to eat? Yes, it is a wonderful growth medium, but so is a cooling hamburger.

Perhaps not a terribly relevant question, but one I am curious about.
