Holiday Tips

‘Tis the season to bake lots of cookies. But beware - eating raw cookie batter made with eggs could spoil more than your appetite.

When baking, avoid eating foods containing raw eggs like cookie dough, brownies or cake batter. Raw eggs may contain harmful bacteria that can lead to food poisoning. Wait until these treats are fully cooked before surrendering to your sweet tooth.
