FDA Recalls Blackstone Ranch Seasoning Due to Salmonella Risk Affecting Walmart Shoppers
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a recall of Blackstone Parmesan Ranch seasoning products due to potential salmonella contamination. The recall was initiated by Blackstone Products of Providence, Utah, following a recall of dry milk powder by California Dairies, Inc., which was used as an ingredient in the seasoning. The affected products were sold exclusively at Walmart stores and through the Blackstone Products website. The specific lot codes and sell-by dates for the recalled products are July 2, 2027; August 5, 2027; and August 12, 2027. Although no illnesses have been reported so far, salmonella can cause serious health issues, particularly in young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that salmonella causes approximately 1.35 million infections and 420 deaths annually in the U.S.
