Tumblr’s got you covered:
eating flour straight form the bag lol
Who the hell is rawdogging their flour??
A bit of raw flour dusting on my cake.
Why flour and not powder sugar?
For that genuine e coli taste.
If that’s not love, I dont know what is
If you made me this and it turned out not to be the real thing on the topping I’d be severely disappointed…
Hahahaha that’s awesome
All of this has happened before, and it will all happen again.
It’s not just salmonella from the egg, it’s also e coli from the raw flour.
If you want to make yourself cookie dough, remember to bake loose flour for a bit first to kill any microbes in that, too.
And use unsweetened applesauce instead of eggs! If you get the cheap, bland stuff there’s no difference in flavor, and no risk from uncooked eggs!
You can make your own edible cooking dough. You just have to pasteurize the eggs and flour. If I’m not mistaken, I think the flour is more dangerous than the eggs.
There are even shops which sell edible cookie dough pre-made if you’d prefer the convenience.
I’m shocked that there are shops that sell inedible cookie dough… why would you want such a thing?
'cause it’s delicious.
I would expect edible cookie dough to be much more delicious than inedible.

Yes, people have gotten sick from Salmonella and E. coli from eating raw flour.
In a flour recall that happened in March 2023, 14 people got sick with 3 hospitalizations.
Here were some others:
- 2021, cake mix recall that led to 16 sick and 7 hospitalized
- 2019, flour recall that led to 21 sick and 3 hospitalizations
- 2016, flour recall that led to 63 sick and 17 hospitalizations
Flour is one of the top ten foods that cause illnesses (source).
I don’t know how people make cakes and cookies witbout eating it raw. It seems to be an american thing. Am I the only Australian eating cake batter and cookie dough?
As a kid I often got to lick the Mixmaster beaters when Mum was making biscuits or a cake.
From raw vegan cookie dough? No :)

The flour isn’t clean though.
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?
Raw eggs are no problem I’ve seen Rocky
