66 E. coli O157:H7 Illnesses in 28 States Linked to Nestle's Toll House Cookie

Posted on June 19, 2009 by E. coli Attorney

Over the last few weeks we have been investigating E. coli O157:H7 illnesses in several states. All seemed unconnected. However, common food items were uncooked Nestles Toll House Cookie Dough, Strawberries, Fruit Roll-ups and Ground Beef. The vast majority reported eating Toll House Cookies.

We now have reports that federal, state and local health officials are investigating a cluster of at least 66 cases of E. coli O157:H7 in 28 states. Reports indicate the ill people's E. coli O157:H7 isolates share a common genetic pattern and likely a common source.

The link appears to have been made to Nestles Toll House Cookies.
