Recall from page 8A
Package
Ron Nunn Principal Scott Vernoy said it was important for a letter to be sent home even though there were no suspected risks. “Our fundraiser was held at the beginning of the school year, back in October or so. People who purchased the cookie dough probably have consumed it by now, but it is important to get the message out just to be on the safe side.” While Discovery Bay Elementary posted the recall announcement in the weekly newsletter that goes to parents, the OUSD decided to handle the situation by hitting the phone lines. Anne Allen, principal of Laurel Elementary, said the Parents Club obtained a list of all the students who sold cookie dough and then all the parents were called to inform them of the recall. “We called every parent who bought cookie dough. No one has been reported sick, but we didn’t want to risk the health of any of our families, so we notified parents right away.” Betsy Lee Sanders, president of Dough-To-Go, said in an e-mail that only the peanut butter products from the fundraisers have been recalled. Although no illnesses have been associated with DoughTo-Go products, California Department of Public Health Director Mark Horton urged customers to dispose of the fundraiser cookie dough as a safety measure. For information about the DoughTo-Go recall, call the California Health Department Office of Public Affairs at 916-440-7259.
