Walmart Recalls Ranch Seasoning Over Salmonella Risk

Walmart has recalled a popular ranch seasoning due to potential salmonella contamination. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that certain lots of Blackstone Parmesan Ranch seasoning may contain contaminated dry milk powder.

The affected product is the 7.3-ounce bottle 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. The recall applies to lot numbers 2025-43282, 2025-46172 and 2026-54751.

The dry milk powder was originally recalled in April by California Dairies, Inc. and was supplied to a third-party manufacturer. Blackstone Products stated that no illnesses have been reported to date, but customers are advised to dispose of the product immediately and contact the company for a replacement.

Salmonella symptoms include diarrhoea, fever and abdominal cramps, typically appearing within 12 to 72 hours after consumption. The infection can be fatal in young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.

The recall is part of a wider issue involving the contaminated milk powder, which has also affected beverages, croutons, and frozen pizzas sold at various retailers including Aldi and Kroger.
