Product Recall

The Food Bank of Lincoln is urging anyone who received Great Value Cottage Cheese (Universal Product Code 078742-11673) from its mobile food distributions and partner agency sites to discard the product immediately due to a safety recall issued by the product’s manufacturer, Saputo Cheese USA Inc.

Consuming products that are not fully pasteurized can pose a significant health risk.
