As soon as the batter is ready, you can already taste it:those cookies are delicious and the batter is not bad either. It is very tempting to snack on the batter.
Can it hurt?
Somewhere you remember that it is better not to eat batter with raw eggs in it uncooked. On the other hand, you have never gotten sick from it. However, there is a chance that unbaked dough will make you sick. Research shows that the dough can sometimes be contaminated with E. coli or salmonella.
Don't eat sweets from ready-made mixes either
Raw eggs are often the culprit, but ready-made mixes can also make you sick. The ingredients of such a mix are pasteurized, but other ingredients can also contain bacteria. Even raw flour could make you sick.
The chance may seem small, but it is real and the stories of those affected are intense.
