That's all well and fine if you have a hankering for the stuff. It doesn't even sound so bad when you read the label.
What you should know is the stuff is made from recycled milk, the stuff that has gone bad on the store shelf. They just reprocess it, remove the green stuff, and make it into a nice thick tasty product which never seems to go bad after that. (Blaaahh!)
But hey I like cottage cheese, so who am I to talk? :o)
My father worked for Knudsen Creamery, the largest creamery in Los Angeles for 25 years. I myself worked for Adohr Farms for 3 years and Alpha Beta Grocery for 3 years. All their milk products were produced with fresh milk or dried milk products derived from fresh milk. All of their out-of-code products were sold to livestock farms or were disposed of. I have never heard of the practice of reprocessing out-of-code dairy products for resale. You have been misinformed.
