Not too long ago one of our local grocery chain stores called my brother about their ground beef being recalled. I guess they have all that info from the shopping cards we use at their stores.

We've been warned against tasting batter so if one does its on them if they get ill.
Why would anyone put their unwashed hands in their mouth? If they do, it's their fault if illness follows.

@occasionalrain sometimes when baking you sample the batter for taste and for most it is just something you don't even think about. If people know something is harmful then I don't believe they would purposely sample the item.

My experience with raw cookie dough is when it comes to children. They love to sample cookie and cake dough...I even remember being given the spoon to sample. There are so many products out there that are connected to raw cookie dough and unless the consumer is warned they would never know this.

If they are aware of the issue and still sample/use then yes they are responsible for any illnesses that occur.

A child old enough to be involved with dough should be told of the risk and be supervised. If they're told not to sample, sample anyway and suffer the consequences, experience is the best teacher.

Blue Bell Ice Cream got taken off the market about 4 years ago due to contamination. After months and months of investigation, the FDA discovered the bacteria came from the raw cookie dough they used in one of their flavors. It came from an outside supplier and wasn't a Blue Bell product. They are back but don't seem to have the shelf space in stores that they previously had.

Thanks for heads up O/P. I guess that I will be buying the store brand. I can not believe that the FDA did not alert us on this. I had to find this out from a thoughtful, sensible person from a shopping channel forum. Wow, when you think you read and heard everything.

You are correct @Kachina624 sometimes the contamination is secondary. I remember that recall because that was one of my son's favorite ice cream flavors. I did not personally care for it but eventually he started eating healthier and stopped buying it.
