As a food company we take a very conservative approach to food handling and absolutely do NOT recommend consuming any raw product that is intended to be cooked. Just as the dough that is made and baked in your home could potentially have pathogens, so is the case with our refrigerated cookie dough. Although the egg that is used in our cookie dough is pasteurized and should not contain any pathogens, theoretically, other ingredients could. Please be assured that all reasonable precautions have been taken by our raw ingredient suppliers to insure that we receive only high quality ingredients for our products.
