The hazard: Salmonella contamination

Salmonella is what triggered this notice. The bacteria transfer readily from hands and surfaces, which is why the clean-up matters as much as the disposal.

What the notice says: Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Why it matters: Salmonella is one of the most common causes of foodborne illness in the United States. It spreads easily from a contaminated product to hands, taps, cloths and other food in the same kitchen.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

The CDC describes salmonellosis as diarrhoea, fever and stomach cramps that usually begin between six hours and six days after exposure and last about four to seven days. Most people recover without treatment. Children under five, adults over 65 and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to become seriously ill. Seek care for diarrhoea with a high fever, bloody stools, vomiting that stops you keeping liquids down, diarrhoea lasting more than three days, or signs of dehydration such as very little urine, a dry mouth or dizziness when standing.

Products covered by this recall

Parmesan Ranch seasoning

What the company announced

Blackstone Products of Providence, Utah is voluntarily recalling certain lots of Blackstone Parmesan Ranch seasoning products because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella . Blackstone’s action is based on a California Dairies, Inc. recall of dry milk powder due to potential Salmonella contamination. The affected milk powder ingredient was supplied to a third-party manufacturer and used in the seasoning product. No illnesses have been reported to date.

Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

The affected lots were sold at retail nationwide exclusively through Walmart stores and through the Blackstone Products website ( www.blackstoneproducts.com ). The recall is limited to the following products and lots only:

  • Product Name: Blackstone Parmesan Ranch 7.3 oz #4106 · Lot Number: 2025-43282 · Best If Used By: 07/02/2027
  • Product Name: Blackstone Parmesan Ranch 7.3 oz #4106 · Lot Number: 2025-46172 · Best If Used By: 08/05/2027
  • Product Name: Blackstone Parmesan Ranch 7.3 oz #4106 · Lot Number: 2026-54751 · Best If Used By: 08/12/2027

Below is a label image to assist with product identification:

The lot code and best-by dates are located on the bottom of the product package:

Customers who have affected product should not consume the product and should dispose of it immediately.

Customers who purchased one of the affected products may contact Blackstone Products directly at 1-888-879-4610 to obtain a replacement product, or for additional questions or more information, between the hours of 8 AM to 5 PM EST, Monday through Friday.

What to do about Salmonella

Blackstone — Salmonella is what triggered this notice. The bacteria transfer readily from hands and surfaces, which is why the clean-up matters as much as the disposal.

  1. Stop eating the product and keep it away from anything ready to eat.
  2. If you repackaged or froze it, check the freezer too. Salmonella is not killed by freezing.
  3. Watch everyone who ate it for about a week, and call a doctor sooner for a child under five or an adult over 65.
  4. Bag it and bin it, or take it back to the store — do not feed it to pets or livestock either.

Getting a refund without the pack

The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.

  • A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
  • Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
  • No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
  • For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.

Remedy named in the notice: Customers who have affected product should not consume the product and should dispose of it immediately.
