(WPRI) - The FDA has now confirmed findings of E.coli bacteria in a sample of cookie dough from a Nestle plant in Virginia.

The FDA and the CDC both warned consumers earlier this month not to eat any varieties of pre-packaged Nestle Toll House refrigerated cookie dough after seventy people across the country got sick.

Nestle says you should not cook this cookie dough or eat it -- just take the package back to the grocery store for a refund.

The affected product has these attributes:

  • Day code of 9041
  • "Best before 10 JUN 2009"

Nestle's website has more details about the products being pulled from shelves here.
