23 Surprising Foods You Should Never Eat Raw

 Flour

Eating a spoonful of raw dough or batter, especially if it is cookie dough, is hard to resist, but not only would you be at risk of getting a salmonella infection because of the raw egg, you might also be at risk due to the E. coli in flour. In 2016, an outbreak of E. coli infections linked to raw flour made 63 people sick. Since the bacteria are killed when food made with flour is cooked, you need to control your urges until the oven kills the bacteria for you.
