Recall: Cottage cheese sold at Walmart under 'Great Value' brand

Three types of cottage cheese sold under Walmart's "Great Value" brand are being recalled in two dozen states because they may not have been pasteurized properly.

The Food and Drug Administration said the cheese’s manufacturer, Saputo Cheese USA, discovered the issue during what it called "pasteurizer troubleshooting exercises." It then voluntarily issued the recall.

The products were sold between February 17 and 20. The impacted products include:

  Great Value Fat Free Small Curd Cottage Cheese – 0% Milkfat  

  Great Value Lowfat Small CurdCottage Cheese – 2% Milkfat  

  Great Value Small Curd CottageCheese – 4% milkfat minimum  

If you have the products in question, do not eat them and return them to Walmart for a refund.

According to the FDA, there are no reports of illness or hospitalization connected to the recall.
