Spoiler alert: If you are already elbow-deep in holiday cake batter, you may just want to stop reading here. Tasting uncooked foods made with flour can make you dangerously ill, according to a study published on 23rd November, 2017 (Wednesday) in 'The New England Journal of Medicine'. The report confirms that a type of E coli bacteria previously discovered in wet environments like hamburger meat can also thrive in arid hosts. Because of concerns over raw eggs, precautions have long existed for licking batter-laced spoons and nibbling homemade cookie dough. But the new results expand both the array of raw goods to be concerned about - even homemade play-dough! - and the reasons to be vigilant.
