WESTBY, Wis. (WKBT) — A consumer alert is being issued for a product from the Westby Creamery.

The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection is issuing the alert for 4% cottage cheese made by Westby Creamery.

Routine tests found the presence of an enzyme that may be a sign the cottage cheese wasn’t pasteurized enough.
