DANVILLE, Va. (AP) - Nestle officials are meeting with Danville workers to review the finding that a sample of raw cookie dough collected at the plant tested positive for E. coli.

Nestle spokeswoman Roz O'Hearn said the meetings Tuesday are to review the Food and Drug Administration's investigation.

She says the side of the plant that made refrigerated cookie dough has been sanitized, and workers are putting equipment back together following the FDA's inspection last week.

None of about 275 workers who made cookie dough has been laid off. O'Hearn says some are taking vacation days, others are on unpaid leave, and some are working on the side of the plant that makes pasta products.

Danville had the state's highest metropolitan unemployment rate in May at 13 percent.
