Three types of Walmart's Great Value brand cottage cheese are being recalled in 24 states over concerns the products may not have been properly pasteurized.

The Food and Drug Administration said the cheese's manufacturer, Saputo Cheese USA, discovered the issue during what it called "pasteurizer troubleshooting exercises" and then voluntarily issued the recall.
