The Cookie Jar DC offers dough consumers can safely eat raw
While companies selling eggless cookie dough have proliferated in recent years in part to meet consumers’ desire to enjoy the product raw like they did as children before risks from salmonella were fully understood, The Cookie Jar DC goes one step farther to ensure consumer safety. It not only skips the eggs, but it uses pasteurized flour. CEO and founder Lindsay Larner says even though the ingredient is more expensive than regular flour it is worth it because non-pasteurized flour is a common, but little recognized, source of salmonella if not cooked.
