If you like your snacks less salty and sweeter, keep an eye out for a recent multi-state salmonella outbreak related to Papa Murphy's raw cookie dough products. Papa Murphy's Chocolate Chip Cookie and S'mores Bars dough have been linked to 18 illnesses, including two hospitalizations, spanning six states – California, Idaho, Missouri, Oregon, Washington, and Utah. Although efforts to trace the specific source of the salmonella outbreak are ongoing, the FDA said in a release, "Based on epidemiological data collected by CDC, 12 of 14 cases report eating food from Papa Murphy's and nine people reported eating raw Chocolate Chip Cookie or S'mores Bars dough." Epidemiologists from the Oregon Health Authority are investigating an outbreak of illnesses caused by an identical strain of Salmonella. Between April 1 and April 21, Oregon patients reported symptoms ranging from 20 to 57 years old. Meanwhile, the Washington State Department of Health said they are investigating six cases – one each in the counties of Clark, King, Lincoln, Pierce, Spokane, and Whatcom – including one hospitalization. In four of those six cases, people reported eating raw take-and-bake cookie dough products from Papa Murphy's.
