A recall is underway for Great Value cottage cheese sold at Walmart stores in 24 states, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced Wednesday. The products may contain liquid dairy ingredients that have not been fully pasteurized, which can lead to illness, though none have been reported so far in connection to the recall.1
