A popular seasoning product has been recalled due to a potential salmonella health risk.
Blackstone Products has recalled Parmesan Cheese Ranch Seasoning, according to a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notice released May 15.
This action stems from a separate recall of infant formula from California Dairies, Inc.
The notice states that the milk powder ingredients are supplied to a third-party manufacturer and used in seasoning products. No illnesses related to the recall have been reported.
The products were sold at Walmart stores and on the Blackstone Products website.
What is salmonella?
Salmonella is a group of bacteria found in food and water that can cause serious and fatal infections in children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
If severe infections enter the bloodstream, they can cause more serious illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis, the FDA notice says.
Which products are affected?
Blackstone Parmesan Ranch 7.3 oz seasoning powder units are being recalled with expiration dates of July 2, 2027, August 5, 2027, and August 12, 2027. The units also have the following lot numbers: 2025-43282, 2025-46172, and 2026-54751.
The number is located on the bottom of the product packaging.
What should consumers do next?
According to Blackstone Products, consumers should not use the product and should immediately discard it.
Purchasers may contact Blackstone Products at 1-888-879-4610 to obtain a replacement product from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday.
