FAQs about Testing Nestlé Toll House Cookie Dough to see if it’s Contaminated with E. coli O157:H7
If the health department has confirmed that you are part of the Nestle E. coli outbreak, please contact our law firm for Nestle lawsuit information. Even if you do not have any leftover cookie dough, you probably have a case against Nestle to recover your medical expenses and compensation for lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, loss of quality of life and other damages.
If you were sickened after eating Nestle cookie dough but did not have a stool sample tested for E. coli O157:H7, you may still be able to prove that you are part of the Nestle E. coli outbreak if you have leftover cookie dough that can be tested. The FAQ below may answer some of your questions. We also welcome you to contact a lawyer at our law firm: 1-888-377-8900 (toll free) or submit our free consultation form.
- I got sick after eating Nestlé Toll House cookie dough. Am I part of the E. coli O157:H7 outbreak?
The best way to determine if you are part of the Nestlé Toll House outbreak is to have your stool tested. If the stool test is positive for E. coli O157:H7, further testing is necessary to determine if the E. coli O157:H7 found in your stool matches the genetic finger print of the samples obtained from other outbreak victims. If your stool sample is positive for E. coli O157:H7 and it has the same genetic fingerprint as the other victims, it is highly likely that you are part of this outbreak. - I got sick but I was not asked to provide a stool sample. How do I prove I was part of this outbreak?
There are many reasons why people with E. coli O157:H7 are not asked to provide a stool sample. The problem is that without a positive stool sample, it’s difficult to say what’s causing your symptoms. That’s because there are many illnesses and conditions that produce symptoms similar to E. coli O157:H7. Thus, the best evidence that you have E. coli O157:H7 is a positive stool sample. However, and as discussed below, in some cases it is possible to link undiagnosed symptoms if you have left-over cookie dough that tests positive for E. coli O157:H7. - I still have some of the Nestlé Toll House Cookie Dough. If it’s tested and the testing shows it’s contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, does that mean I have a case even if I did not give a stool sample?
Under some circumstances, a product that tests positive for E. coli O157:H7 can help prove you are part of this outbreak even if you did not provide a stool sample. - Where can I have the Nestlé Toll House Cookie Dough tested to see if it’s contaminated with E. coli O157:H7?
There are labs that will test your cookie dough for you. You may contact Exova in Portland, Oregon at 503-253-916 for testing your product (http://www.exova.ca/index.php) . You may also contact Accugen Labs in Willow brook, IL at 1-800-282-7102, or fill out a submission form at http://www.accugenlabs.com/samplesubmissionform.html . Either of these laboratories will have you fill out a form to send with your product. Please note that our law firm is not affiliated with these labs and we have no contact with or control over them regarding food testing. Thus, we can accept no responsibility for anything regarding product testing by these labs including but not limited to lost samples, the manner in which the testing is performed, test results, etc. Make sure you are clear that you want your product tested for E. coli O157:H7. - How much does it cost and who pays for it?
Testing will cost about $35-50 depending on how many tests need to be performed. You will have to pay that cost via check or credit card when you ship your product. If tests show the food is adulterated with E. coli O157:H7 and we accept your case and later obtain a recovery on your behalf, you will be reimbursed for all testing costs. - How do I get a sample of Nestlé Toll House Cookie Dough and send it to the testing company?
Products are generally sent in a sealed plastic bag, with an ice pack to keep your product relatively cold via FedEx overnight service. When you fill out your shipping form, the lab can assist in choosing the proper packaging, but anything that is sealed, and keeps the product cool will most likely work. - How long does it take to find out if the sample is positive?
Results will generally be available in 2-5 days. If your product is positive for E. coli O157:H7, further tests on your product may be necessary to confirm this result, and to determine the exact strain of E. coli O157:H7. - If the sample is positive, what do I do then?
Immediately Contact an E. coli attorney at PritzkerOlsen at 1-888-377-8900. Further testing on your product may be necessary.
