Blackstone Parmesan Ranch Seasoning Recalled Over Salmonella Concern: Ingredient Dry Milk Powder May Be Contaminated; Three Lots Sold Nationwide at Walmart, No Illnesses Reported
Blackstone Products is recalling certain Blackstone Parmesan Ranch seasoning products, Mesa County Public Health in Colorado said in a food safety alert published on November 8. The action follows California Dairies' recall of dry milk powder, an ingredient used in the seasoning products, over concerns that the dry milk powder is contaminated with Salmonella.
The recalled product is the Blackstone Parmesan Ranch 7.3 oz #4106, in three lots: lot number 2025-43282 with a best-if-used-by date of July 2, 2027; lot number 2025-46172 with a best-if-used-by date of August 5, 2027; and lot number 2026-54751 with a best-if-used-by date of August 12, 2027. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website carries the full list of products.
The Blackstone Products seasoning was sold nationwide through Walmart stores and may have been distributed in Mesa County. To date, no illnesses have been reported in connection to these products, the county health department said. Its guidance to consumers is to check pantries for the recalled products and throw them out or return them to the place of purchase, and to contact a doctor right away if symptoms develop after consuming the recalled products.
Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, according to the department. Symptoms usually begin six hours to six days after infection and can last four to seven days. Most people recover without treatment, but Salmonella can lead to serious and sometimes deadly infections for young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems.
