Hey ya'll I just had a breakfast making mishap. I wanted to make a potato and onion omelet and while cooking the potatoes alone first, I decided the last minute to add flour and make the little tater squares crispy. Only they turned mushy and I think I should have just continued cooking anyway.
I may have taken them off the pan too early to cook the onions and egg mixture. I put the potatoes back into the omelet to cook a little more but I am still paranoid of getting E. Coli.
I guess my question is: is it safe to eat undercooked flour?
Doctor Google sure as hell ain't helping me out so I'm asking you guys, the next best thing!

wait, you think you can get Coli from *flour*?
Are you actually literally retarded?

It's actually unsafe to eat raw flour. Treat it as you would any other dangerous uncooked food.

You can. When people eat raw cookie dough, they tend to worry about the raw eggs. In reality, it's the flour that can spread E.coli and other pathogenic bacteria.

allright, but it was but a chance incident. Flour doesn't intrisically contain anything. It's obvious, that since you don't sterilize it, anything that gets to your flour will contaminate it.

Flour is grown in fields you know, where animals shit all over it. Like any other fruit or vegetable it's susceptible to contamination by e coli.The thing is people usually don't eat raw flour so incidents of people getting sick from it are rare.
