Idahoans Warned to Check Fridge ASAP After Popular Snack Is Recalled at Walmart

Cottage cheese is one of those perfect snacks to keep in the fridge. It’s a high-protein, low-effort food that’s perfect to add to your lunch, enjoy after a run on the Greenbelt or dig into as a late-night snack. Some Idahoans can eat it plain, while others want to load it up with fruit. Unfortunately, there’s a significant cottage cheese recall affecting Idaho right now.

The USDA recently shared a recall notice from Saputo Cheese Inc. The company is recalling several of their cottage cheese products that were packaged under Walmart’s Great Value name. They’re concerned that the liquid dairy ingredients used to make the cottage cheese were not fully pasteurized.
