Feb. 26 (UPI) -- Saputo Cheese has recalled certain cottage cheese products sold under Walmart's house brand, Great Value, the Food and Drug Administration announced.
The health agency said the recall was due to the possibility that the dairy products used to make the cottage cheese weren't fully pasteurized.
"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 FDA said in the announcement.
The affected cottage cheese was sold between Feb. 17 and Feb. 20 at Walmart stores 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.
