Overview
- Saputo’s voluntary recall covers Great Value Fat Free Small Curd (0%), Lowfat Small Curd (2%) and Small Curd (4%) cottage cheese sold in 16‑ounce, 24‑ounce and 3‑pound tubs.
- The products were distributed to Walmart stores and distribution centers from Feb. 17 to Feb. 20, 2026, across 24 states including Alaska, California, Texas, Washington and Georgia.
- Consumers should look for Best If Used By dates of April 1–3, 2026, and avoid eating any affected tubs.
- Shoppers are advised to discard the product or return it to Walmart for a full refund, and questions can be directed to Saputo at 1-888-587-2423 during weekday business hours.
- The recall was initiated after a pasteurizer troubleshooting event with the California Department of Food and Agriculture; the FDA is aware, no other facility products were affected, and under‑pasteurized dairy can pose higher risks to young children, pregnant people, older adults and immunocompromised individuals.
