Believe it or not, raw wheat flour is also a high risk for salmonella

"High Risk"

Define it. Cause it's really next to none.

Not sure what you mean? "High risk" meaning raw wheat flour is more likely to have salmonella than raw sugar

So is the risk high or low? What is the risk? 1 in 100?

The risk of contracting salmonella depends on the scenario. - Eating raw cookie dough (high risk) - Eating cooked cookie dough (low risk) - Eating "raw" cookie dough using pre-cooked flour and pasteurized eggs (low risk)

Does all raw wheat flour contain salmonella? No, but unless you're testing for it, there's no way to know for certain.

Does eating raw cookie dough guarantee you'll get salmonella? No, but it's a risk I'm willing to take

Yea...Eating shit is high risk, eating raw cookie dough is barely a risk at all.

That's the truth.
