Speaking to abcnews.com, Dr Neil said that food items that are supposed to be baked or cooked are not checked stringently for pathogens and added that the companies manufacturing the products should make sure that they are safer as a ready-to-eat product.

“You should not consume raw cookie dough or any other raw product that’s intended to be baked or cooked, and food should always be prepared according to the recipe or instructions”, Dr Neil said. The report has been published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.
