The Centers for Disease Control is using this holiday season to remind bakers that eating or tasting unbaked products can make you sick. Flour and raw eggs especially can contain bacteria and salmonella, respectively. So as much as you may want to sneak a taste, it's better for your health to wait until the treats are fully cooked."

So, wheres the facts of people getting sick?

Well, the USA Today did report on that back in 2016, The CDC reported on an outbreak of E. coli infections linked to raw flour sickened 63 people. About 450 people die every year in the U.S. related to salmonella infections.
