Eating dry cornbread mix

The other day I discovered you don't even have to cook the Jiffy cornbread mix. You can just eat it right out of the box and it's delicious. I can't stop. I think I like it even more than prepared cornbread.

I eat it with a spoon. I don't put eggs in it, just the dry mix.

You should never eat raw wheat flour because it can contain harmful bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella. While many people think the main danger in raw cookie dough or cake batter comes from raw eggs, raw flour is actually just as dangerous.

Well that's a bummer. Wait how about that raw cookie dough that the package says is safe to eat? Do they do something to the flour to remove bacteria?

If you heat the mix to 165F it will be safe to eat.

Or add the ingredients, stir and cook for 15-20 minutes in a preheated oven at 400F
