Like it or not (and absolutely no one likes it), food recalls are a weekly, sometimes daily, occurrence. And with a new one making headlines, it's a good reminder to do that quick fridge sweep we all tend to put off. Before you plan tonight's dinner or scoop something into your lunch container tomorrow, take a second to double-check what's sitting on your shelves.
This time around, the recall involves select lots of cottage cheese produced by Saputo Cheese USA Inc. (SUSA) and sold under Walmart's Great Value label. It's the kind of everyday staple many of us grab without a second thought, which is exactly why it's worth paying attention. Even if you only buy cottage cheese occasionally, now's the moment to glance at the container, check the details, and make sure you're in the clear to make it part of your next meal.

Here's what’s happening: On Feb. 24, SUSA put a voluntarily recall in place for certain cottage cheese products after realizing some of the liquid dairy ingredients used in its production may not have been fully pasteurized to state standards. The good news? There haven't been any reported illnesses connected to the recall. Still, dairy that isn't fully pasteurized can pose real health risks. The issue was uncovered during a routine equipment inspection done in partnership with the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
