FDA Announces Cookie Dough Recall in 15 States—May Contain Salmonella

Cookie dough from the brand Doughy has been recalled in 15 states due to potential Salmonella contamination, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The product was initially recalled on Nov. 20, and last Friday, the FDA gave the recall the highest risk level—Class I—as Salmonella is one of the leading causes of foodborne illness, hospitalizations, and deaths in the U.S.

The recall impacts one flavor of Doughy cookie dough, produced by Hudson River Foods Corp, that can be identified with the following:

• Product name: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
• Size: 12 oz.
• Expiration date: July 4, 2026
• Affected quantity: 113 units

The six-ingredient product is vegan and can be eaten raw or baked. The item was distributed in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Texas.

The FDA did not provide instructions, but as a Class I recall, you should not consume the affected cookie dough. Toss or return it instead. If you think you’ve eaten contaminated cookie dough, monitor for common symptoms of Salmonella, including:

• Watery diarrhea that might have blood or mucus
• Stomach cramps that can be severe
• Headache
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Loss of appetite

Seek medical attention if your symptoms don’t go away after two days, or if they become severe.
