Here’s what they said instead: Does that morning chart thing you did really work? Can you send it to me? Did you make it yourself? Which font makes check boxes? Did you give the kids a prize at the end? And here’s what I realized: While we might think our parent friends are essential for talking out the big stuff, the “Is my kid going to end up in therapy because I…” moments, we really just need them for their tricks. Because this is how we get our really good parenting skills – the kind that make us feel like we’re cheating in the parenting game, a...

The kids get plenty of candy at the class parties and it’s fun to come up with an inexpensive and creative alternative. One year my girls and I cut out white hearts and dipped them in a shallow bowl of straw-blown bubbles mixed with red food coloring for beautiful bubble-spotted valentines. Another year we bought stock-paper bookmarks at a craft store and tied on strings for practical and fun valentines. This year I built on the idea of the Pumpkin-Pie Scented Play Dough we made at Thanksgiving. By doubling the recipe, I made just enough play dough for sixteen snack-sized zip-top bags of play dough to hand out as valentines. You can follow these directions to make your own valentines or make ...

Toll House® raw cookie dough was behind a recent outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 that sickened 80 individuals – two thirds of them children and teenagers – in 31 states during May and June of this year. Thirty-five of the victims were hospitalized as a result of their illness. Ten developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, a life-threatening complication that typically affects 5-10% of those infected with E. coli O157:H7.Nestlé's Danville, VA cookie dough production facility was shut down in mid-June to facilitate FDA's investigation. While two different samples of Toll House® raw cookie dough yielded E. coli when tested dur... eFoodAlert.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2712394 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 13:57:00 +0100 2712394 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2602257&cid=t_108536_167_f&fid=36991&url=http%3A%2F%2Fefoodalert.blogspot.com%2F2009%2F07%2Fwrapping-up-nestle-toll-house-outbreak.html July 14, 2009FDA made it official yesterday evening. The agency has wrapped up its investigation into Nestlé's Toll House cookie dough manufacturing facility in Danville, Virginia. Raw cookie dough produced in the Danville plant is believed to be responsible for an outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 infections that has sickened 76 people in 31 states. Thirty-five of the victims were hospitalized, 11 with life-threatening hemolytic uremic syndrome.After an investigation that lasted from June 18th through July 9th, no one is any the wiser as to how at least three different strains of E. coli were able to contaminate the raw cookie dough."Three different strains," you ask? Yes. Three different strains of E. coli have been recovered during the course of this outbreak investigation.Strain #1: A commo... eFoodAlert.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2602257 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 23:10:00 +0100 2602257 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2593265&cid=t_108536_167_f&fid=36991&url=http%3A%2F%2Fefoodalert.blogspot.com%2F2009%2F07%2Ftransparency-101-primer-for-fda.html July 11, 2009The new kids on the block in Washington, DC have made much of their intention to promote "transparency and openness in government". It seems, though, that FDA needs some help to figure out what "transparency" and "openness" mean. transparency: characterized by visibility or accessibility of information especially concerning business practices (from Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary)openness (derivative of open): completely free from concealment, exposed to general view or knowledge (from Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary)For example, openness and transparency mean:Releasing the entire inspection report for Nestlé's Toll House cookie dough production facility, not just a one-page summary for an investigation that took two weeks to carry outReleasing the results of lab tests, i... eFoodAlert.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2593265 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 19:34:00 +0100 2593265 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2561194&cid=t_108536_86_f&fid=34445&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwomenshealthnews.wordpress.com%2F2009%2F06%2F30%2Fassorted-fda-related-updates-transparency-tylenol-and-cookie-dough%2F The FDA has a transparency blog up at http://fdatransparencyblog.fda.gov/ where the agency is asking the public for comments on how they can do better at being transparent. For example, question 3 is “What tools, techniques, processes, or other mechanisms should FDA use to be more effective in providing useful and understandable information?” There are very few comments thus far, so go on over and share your thoughts. FDA Confirms E. Coli O157:H7 in Prepackaged Nestlé Toll House Refrigerated Cookie Dough. Do not want. I’d be interested in knowing how many of the infected ate the raw dough vs. prepared cookies, because I know I never make cookies without scarfing up a bit of the raw dough.

Nestle Toll House refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough bar." The unopened package of cookie dough carries a production code of 9041 (corresponding to a production date of February 10, 2009) and a "Best Before" indication of 10 JUN 2009.The Company's news release went on to say,"Nestle continues to work closely and in full cooperation with the FDA on the ongoing investigation. We are very concerned about those who have become ill from E. coli 0157:H7, and deeply regret that this has occurred."Nestlé recalled all of its refrigerated Toll House cookie dough from the retail market on June 19th, after CDC established a link between the Compan... eFoodAlert.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2556395 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 21:13:00 +0100 2556395 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2528224&cid=t_108536_167_f&fid=36991&url=http%3A%2F%2Fefoodalert.blogspot.com%2F2009%2F06%2Fnestle-toll-house-cookie-dough.html June 26, 2009The outbreak strain of E. coli O157:H7 that has sickened as many as 69 people (46 confirmed, as of June 25th) in 29 states has been circulating in the United States for more than four years, according to CDC records.Based on the chart displayed in CDC's outbreak investigation report, this strain has been reported in 363 E. coli O157:H7-infected individuals since February 2005. Significant clusters of reported cases occurred in February/March 2005, August 2005 through January 2006, April 2006 through December 2006, and April 2008 through December 2008. The present outbreak may have started as early as March 2009.Without knowing the genetic fingerprint of the outbreak strain, we can only guess at the precise outbreaks associated with this particular E. coli O157:H7.

The most recent FDA inspection, performed over the course of 12 hours on March 12 2009 – only four hours of which were spent on the Toll House cookie dough area – did not uncover a single sanitary violation or "objectionable" condition.The inspection reports reveal little else.

And since it’s highly unusual for E. coli, an intestinal bacterium of cattle (i.e., it’s in their feces) to be present in something like cookie dough, investigators are so far at a loss to explain exactly what is going on. But, since all of the people who became sick ate the same raw cookie dough product, it seems obvious that it’s the cookie dough that’s to blame. The question is, from where did the E. coli come? If it were inadequately cooked hamburgers that were responsible, it would be easy to link E. c...
