Is ben and jerrys cookie dough deadly?

Ben & Jerry's cookie dough is not deadly, but it can cause food poisoning. The raw eggs and flour in the cookie dough can contain harmful bacteria, such as Salmonella and E. coli. These bacteria can cause stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. In severe cases, food poisoning can lead to hospitalization.

To avoid food poisoning, it is important to cook cookie dough thoroughly before eating it. The cookie dough should be heated to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature of the cookie dough by inserting a food thermometer into the center of the dough.

If you are pregnant, it is especially important to avoid eating raw cookie dough. Pregnant women are more susceptible to food poisoning, and the bacteria in raw cookie dough can cause serious health problems for the developing baby.

If you are concerned about food poisoning, you can talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian.
