  • Saputo Cheese USA Inc. has issued a voluntary recall for several Great Value cottage cheese products sold at Walmart stores across 24 US states.
  • The recall affects various sizes and fat percentages of Great Value Small Curd Cottage Cheese, including 0%, 2%, and 4% milkfat versions.
  • The reason for the recall is the possibility that liquid dairy ingredients used in the products were not fully pasteurized according to state regulatory standards.
  • Consuming these unpasteurized products could pose significant health risks, particularly to young, elderly, or immunocompromised individuals, although no illnesses have been reported.
  • Customers who have purchased the affected cottage cheese products are advised not to consume them and should dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
