Flour-Associated Outbreaks Involving Shiga Toxin-Producing E.coli
Four Outbreaks Occurring Between 2009 and 2016 2009 -- Prepackaged refrigerated cookie dough 2013 -- Frozen food products 2016 -- Undercooked pizza dough at various restaurant locations 2016 – Dry flour and raw dough
Current Advice for Retailers
q Restaurants that allow their customers to handle raw dough should evaluate whether this practice is appropriate.
q Restaurants and retailers should be aware that flour may be a source of pathogens and should control the potential for cross-contamination of food processing equipment and the food processing environment.
On-Going Prevention Efforts FDA is currently exploring research opportunities to determine the prevalence of E.coli in Flour
and the survivability of E. coli in flour products
