Cookie dough likely caused E.coli outbreak

This article is about the E.coli outbreak in 2009, this article released a little under a week ago tells us how the comfort food of many heart broken women and young children is responsible for sending over 70 people to the emergency room back in 2009. After long tests and endless lab results scientists have come up with the conclusion that it was most likely the floor inside the cookie dough which was the problem because it is the only ingredient that was not previously pasteurized, or other wise treated with pathogens. There has been a recommendation to manufactures to add a kind of "kill step" to make the product better for consumption, however nothing has been done yet.

Cookie dough is the comfort food of all the broken heart-ed women of the world. We eat out hearts out to take away the pain the last thing we want is to become sick and then end up staying home from work and only thinking about the broken heart that much more. If over 70 people got sick from this then there is a serious problem aseptically because the article says that it was in over 30 U.S states which means that it is not just a problem in one part of the states. I would personally really like someone to fix this problem so that i know that i will not get sick when i am in a vulnerable state, i think that the majority of the female population agrees with me.
