The CDC is investigating 18 salmonella infections across six states, with some cases linked to Papa Murphy’s raw cookie dough and s’mores bars. Two hospitalizations have been reported, but no deaths.
At least 18 people have become ill, including two reported hospitalizations, between Feb. 27 and May 2, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Interviews with those who have become ill showed that nine sick people reported eating raw cookie dough from Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake Pizza in the week before they got sick, the CDC said Wednesday.
Salmonella infections have been reported in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, California and Missouri, the CDC said, adding that the true number of sick people in the outbreak is “likely much higher than the number reported.”
“This is because many people recover without medical care and are not tested for Salmonella,” the CDC said.
No deaths have been reported.
The take-and-bake pizza company, based in Vancouver, Washington, has temporarily stopped selling its raw chocolate chip cookie dough and raw S’mores bars dough as a result.
