Unopened cottage cheese is unlikely to harbor botulism, as the bacteria that cause it thrive in low-oxygen environments, typically found in improperly canned foods. However, if the cottage cheese appears bulging or has an off smell, these are signs of spoilage and should not be consumed. Always check the expiration date and store it properly in the refrigerator to minimize risks. If in doubt, it's best to discard it.
