My first thought was that it would be killed during the baking
process, but they mentioned eating raw cookie dough. I guess the
bowls are often tasted too.

That is a lot of wasted flour.

A pitance compared to GM's profits. The price of doing business,
these days. 8|

A recall is good if just to be safe. That price of doing business is
passed on to us consumers though.

Plus GM takes the tax write off for their loss.

Exactly! Some people have a strange idea about tax write-offs. When I
complained once to a group of public servants about the cost of parking,
they chorused that it was a tax write off implying that like them, I got
the expense back from the government. They didn't seem to realise that I
had to earn that money in the first place and that I wouldn't be paying
the paltry amount of tax on that.
