I have been eating cottage cheese and fruit for lunch.  It seems over the past few months, the large containers of Breakstone's 4% Fat Cottage Cheese (large curd) are either fine, or alternate with a lot of liquid which I don't like.  

I tried to call their CS, but didn't get an answer, probably too late. (6 pm).

I always buy 1% cottage cheese. 4% is a lot of fat.

Let us know what you find out.   I buy whatever is on sale and don't pay much attention to brands. 

Off topic, I love cottage cheese with canned peach slices.

4% is a lot of fat and that fruit is a lot of sugar.

Maybe just needs a good stir.  I remember reading that you should store the cottage cheese upside down and it will last longer.  The only brand I buy is Cabot 0% and it's always consistent.

@Group 5 minus 1 That is very kind of you to let her know about her cottage cheese & fruit. Do you know anything about her question?

@Group 5 minus 1 @CoffeeNut Besides, who eats that much cottage cheese and fruit?  And we do need some fat.  Hubby and I just decided we aren't getting enough. . . and yes, it can happen.

I know exactly what you mean. I have the same for lunch often and will now only use Publix 2% cottage cheese. It is thick and tasty. Mine is small curd, but they also have large and 4%. Daisy brand is even wetter than Breakstone.

Breakstone is the only brand of cottage cheese that I can eat and I purchase the $%. It's a bit higher in price at the market where I shop. Occasionaly I'll get a container that has the water on top. I'll just mix it around with a spoon if it's just a small amount. If it's covering the entire surface then I won't take a chance on it. I think it may have been sitting too long some place else in the market.
