CDC links salmonella outbreak to raw flour consumption.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating a multi-state Salmonella outbreak linked to uncooked food containing raw flour. The CDC warns that any raw flour used to make dough or batter can be contaminated with germs like Salmonella, which can cause food poisoning. Most people reported eating raw dough or batter made with flour before they got sick. The CDC urges people to not eat uncooked dough or batter, follow all proper cooking/baking instructions, and clean every utensil that touched those ingredients to avoid potential Salmonella infections.
