Has anyone opened a new carton of sour cream and it

[sinkingfeeling]

looked like runny cottage cheese? I attempted to stir it, but it's still completely separated. Serves me right for buying something at a Walmart Neighborhood store.

1. No.

It sounds like it might have gone fresh, though. I usually throw it out when that happens.

2. take it back

unless it's inconvenient, take it back to get another or your money... and it can save others because it might be the batch

3. Toss it or return it. Don't eat it.

4. Soft cheese, yogurt, sour cream, and buttermilk will often separate into curds and whey

The liquid whey doesn’t hurt anything. If it becomes excessive just poor it down the sink or drain it off, freeze it, and use it to make smoothies with. Mixing it back in is a bad idea as it will just cause more separation.
