Anybody ever get sick

SharkE — Wed, 13 Dec 2017 14:23:50 GMT

From eating raw batter or those pre made cookies ?

I eat batter and cookie dough all the time never had any trouble.

Possible, I guess, but, never had an issue.

I am like the only person in the history of the world who does not care for raw cookie dough. But I DO enjoy licking the spoon after making a cake! And no, I have never gotten sick!!

Same here -- I've been eating batter all my life. I have read online that the actual danger of salmonella is very very very rare (worth what it costs you to read it!).

I got a package of raw peanuts the other day to roast (here in the South we call them "parched peanuts") and to eat raw. To my intense shock there was a warning on the package not to eat raw peanuts because they are grown underground.

We breathe the air and we drink the water, but now we're a culture afraid of our FOOD? Probably not since Man had to kill wooly mammoths with a stick......

No.

I'm not a huge baker but when I was younger, my mom was a huge baker. I used to eat all kinds of raw dough and never had a problem. I remember a few times eating so much raw chocolate chip cookie dough, I didn't even want the baked cookies. LOL

If I happen to bake a cake, I too will still lick the beaters.

Raw cookie dough isn't my thing but I've been licking spoons and tasting my cake batter and cookie dough for 50 years and I never got sick. I don't anyone who has ever got sick from something we all do.

They just now did a segment on the "dangers" of eating what your making in the kitchen before it's cooked on GMA. I just said to myself "what"? LOL

Now, I wouldn't in restaurents or other people's homes where they have different cleanliness standards, pets, etc.

There wasn’t a real need for warnings with raw eggs until mega chicken farms. There’s just a greater chance for salmonella when chickens are in such close quarters. I have OCD so I don’t eat raw cookie dough, but I have a cousin who’s loved it for over 60 years!

Children and people with compromised immune systems do need to be careful, but I’ve never known anyone personally who’s had problems with it.

I am guilty of eating raw chocolate chip cookie dough and licking the beaters, bowls, spoons and spatulas with remnants of cake batter since a child and still living to tell about it. However I've had tummy aches for eating too much 🍪 cookie dough!

@SharkE. It's the raw eggs that would be the problem.

I guess you are safe.........they do say not to eat raw dough.....

Re: Anybody ever get sick

I agree, it's the raw eggs in the dough. I've never like raw dough of any kind... wha????? But it's true. Very tiny chance that you'll buy eggs with a problem but the chance is there regardless how small....

The percentage is low for people getting sick from raw foods. However, if you do get sick from it , they say it's awful. You can even die from some forms of bacteria if ingested. Better to be safe than sorry and try to kick that habit.

Yes, I know one person that ended up in the ER. No one was sure what made her so sick but she sure was!

I had to laugh at your peanut warning! Yes and so are potatoes and carrots and on & on. Some lawyer made them put that warning on the package.

Raw peanuts do grow underground IN A SHELL!! lol

Anything can get contaminated from the ground to your pantry.

I don't care for the taste of raw peanuts, much prefer parched or roasted.

I’m not one to see danger lurking in every pot and pan. I’ve Been eating dough since I was old enough to follow the cookie recipe on the back of the chocolate chips

I grew up drinking a homemade eggnog concoction that included a raw egg. It was an easy, fast, instant breakfast, long before someone developed "Instant Breakfast". I haven't made that in decades and I won't eat anything with raw egg in it anymore, even though cases of people hospitalized for salmonella seems to be less common now than it was in the past.

No.

When I was young, I used to make corn bread, just so I could lick the bowl.

Whoever mentioned the factory farmed eggs may have a point, I just can't bring myself to buy the cheap eggs. If I can't get to a local farmer, I only buy organic or cage-free. I know that's no guarantee, but I just can't help myself.
