A ranch seasoning sold at Walmart has been recalled due to potential salmonella contamination.
According to a recent notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, certain lots of Blackstone Parmesan Ranch seasoning products contained a dry milk powder that was recalled in April by California Dairies, Inc because it may have been contaminated with salmonella.
“The affected milk powder ingredient was supplied to a third-party manufacturer and used in the seasoning product,” Blackstone Products said in the announcement shared by the FDA.
The recall affects 7.3-ounce bottles of Blackstone Parmesan Ranch, with the number 4106 in the product name and Best If Used By dates between July 2, 2027, and August 12, 2027 on the label. Affected seasonings can be identified by one of three lot numbers: 2025-43282, 2025-46172 and 2026-54751.
Recalled products were sold at Walmart stores nationwide and through the Blackstone Products website.
Although there haven’t been any illnesses reported to date, customers with the recalled product should dispose of it immediately and contact Blackstone Products for a replacement.
People with salmonella infections can develop symptoms within 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food, according to the FDA. Symptoms — which last from four to seven days and usually go away without treatment — can include diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps. However, salmonella can “cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.”
