Printed on flour bag:
On a bag of Gold Medal unbleached all purpose flour:
"Cook before sneaking a taste
Flour is raw
Please cook fully before enjoying"
It was in all capitals on the top of the bag so it would be almost impossible to miss that while opening the bag.

It the sue-happy world we live in. Everything has a caution. I bought some new kitchen knives the other day. When I was got home, I noticed that the package said "Caution: Has sharp edges" I thought "Well, I certainly hope so"

Well, don't you want to just say "well...duh." But what about if it was in cookie dough and you ate it. I guess that would be your own fault then if you got sick. Patrice is right. It's because everyone is so sue happy. Sad times when no one wants to take respinsibility anymore for their own choices.

When "enjoying" cookie dough or cake batter, you are eating it raw,
and as EasyPeezy mentioned if bacteria is there, you are ingesting it ...
... and could be risking your health!
Thus, no matter how good it may taste ... always better to wait until it is baked!

I used to like raw cookie dough and cake batter til I read about how flour is made. Huge piles of wheat in warehouses/silos. naturally there are mice - mice pee and poo on wheat, wheat gets made into flour, at no time in the process is it sterilized. No thank you.
