Walmart cottage cheese recalled because of incomplete pasteurization

Thursday, February 26, 2026 20:25

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Saputo Cheese USA Inc. (SUSA or Saputo) is voluntarily recalling cottage cheese products from Walmart stores because of the possibility of liquid dairy ingredients used in the items not being fully pasteurized according to state regulatory standards.

While no illnesses or hospitalizations associated with the recalled products have been reported to date, consuming products that are not fully pasteurized can pose a significant health risk, especially to the young and elderly or immunocompromised individuals.

The issue was discovered during pasteurizer troubleshooting exercises conducted by SUSA in conjunction with the California Department of Food and Agriculture.

The affected products were sold under the Great Value label and were distributed to Walmart stores and distribution centers in Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Tennessee, Utah, Washington and Wyoming between Feb. 17 and Feb. 20, and include items listed in the chart below.

All products were sold in white plastic tubs with white lids. The “Best By’ dates are located on the side of the lids. To view photos of affected products, click here.

The impacted pasteurizer was returned to normal function and was verified and sealed by the California Department of Food and Agriculture. No other products produced in the facility were affected.

Customers who purchased the affected products should not consume them.
