PRX: No Bacteria. Guaranteed.

Hi friend of PRX,

Nothing says yummy as much as a Toll House chocolate chip cookie. So we sputtered on our crumbs when the FDA discovered E. coli bacteria in samples of refrigerated raw cookie dough at a Nestle plant in Virginia. Lots of people sick.

At PRX, our radio goodies contain a ton of information so you can make an informed choice about every piece on the site: producer, posting date, broadcast date, carriage, content warnings, even a free sample. They’re safe to air!

For eating, not so much.
-John
