3. Cheryl was never a general, and I don't think she carries E. coli.

4. How does E. coli get into flour?

5. According to their statement...

"Based on the information that has been shared with General Mills, some of the ill consumers may have also consumed raw dough or batter. Consumers are reminded to not consume any raw products made with flour. Flour is an ingredient that comes from milling wheat, something grown outdoors that carries with it risks of bacteria which are rendered harmless by baking, frying or boiling. Consumers are reminded to wash their hands, work surfaces, and utensils thoroughly after contact with raw dough products or flour, and to never eat raw dough or batter."

6. So, no raw chocolate chip cookie dough?

7. Pretty much any raw agricultural product has the potential for E coli
