The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Hudson River Foods Corp of Castleton, New York, have announced a recall of Doughy, an edible cookie dough. According to the FDA enforcement report, the product may be contaminated with Salmonella.
The manufacturer initiated the recall on Nov. 20 and on Dec. 5, the FDA categorized it as a Class I food risk warning, the most severe. Those that fall under this category are considered to have the highest likelihood of causing serious adverse health consequences or death.
How to Identify the Recalled Cookie Dough
Only one size and variety of Hudson River Foods Corp’s Doughy is affected by this recall: Doughy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough in 12-ounce tubs.
The recalled containers have a best-by date of July 4, 2026. 113 units were sold in 15 states, including Texas, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, New Jersey, Illinois, Montana, California, Massachusetts, Ohio, Arizona, Oregon, North Carolina, Maryland, and Colorado.
What To Do if You Have the Recalled Cookie Dough
If you have the cookie dough in your refrigerator or freezer, you should throw it away immediately or return it to the place of purchase.
Those who have consumed the product should monitor closely for symptoms of Salmonella infection, which typically appear 12 to 72 hours after consumption. These include diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, aches, and lethargy. Children younger than five, older individuals, and those with weakened immune systems may be at increased risk for more severe infections.
If you or a loved one experiences these symptoms, you should contact your health care provider immediately. At this time, the manufacturer has not issued a press release, and no information regarding consumer illness has been reported.
