We know we shouldn’t eat cookie dough, but we thought the worst thing that could happen after licking the spoon was salmonella poisoning, which usually means an upset stomach and diarrhea.

The outbreak led General Mills to voluntarily recall 10 million pounds of flour (to see which brands are included, click here). Thankfully, chowing down on baked cookies is still a-OK—the heat from the oven kills the bacteria.
