Blackstone Parmesan Ranch Seasoning Recall, Salmonella Risk Found in 3 Lots Sold at Walmart Nationwide and in Canada

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.

If you bought Blackstone Parmesan Ranch seasoning at Walmart or through the Blackstone website — in the U.S. or in Canada — check the bottom of the container right now. Three specific lots are recalled, no illnesses have been reported yet, and a free replacement is available.

Who Is Blackstone Products and Why Is Their Seasoning Being Recalled?

Blackstone Products is a Providence, Utah–based company best known for its flat-top griddles and outdoor cooking accessories, with a seasoning line designed specifically for griddle cooking. The Parmesan Ranch blend is one of its most popular seasonings and was sold exclusively through Walmart stores across the United States and through the company’s own website. The recall was initiated on May 15, 2026, after a dry milk powder ingredient used in the product was identified as potentially contaminated with Salmonella — the same California Dairies Inc. milk powder recall that triggered a cascade of food safety actions across dozens of products this spring.

This recall is precautionary. Blackstone is acting because the ingredient source was recalled, not because their product has been found to contain Salmonella in testing. That distinction matters — but the FDA is clear that precautionary does not mean safe. Throw the product away and do not use it.

What Is Salmonella and Why Does It Matter in a Dry Seasoning?

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. It can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain in otherwise healthy people. In rare cases, the infection can enter the bloodstream and cause more severe illnesses, including arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis.

Most people assume Salmonella is a raw chicken or egg problem. Dry seasonings feel different — shelf-stable, low moisture, seemingly safe. But the contamination happens upstream in the ingredient supply chain, and a seasoning shaken onto food before or after cooking, or used in a dry rub that is not fully cooked through, represents a real risk profile. Even if the food itself reaches a safe temperature, cross-contamination is the real danger — bacteria on the bottle gets onto hands, then onto plates, utensils, or raw food. Throw the bottle away regardless of how you typically use it.

The Blackstone recall is part of a much larger supply chain contamination event. What started as an April 20 California Dairies Inc. recall of more than 2 million pounds of dry milk and buttermilk powder — due to potential Salmonella contamination — has since triggered a multitude of seasoning recalls involving products that used the powder as an ingredient. Other affected products in this cascade include frozen pizzas, potato chips, croutons, and popcorn seasonings sold at Aldi, Kroger, and other retailers. Reading about how contaminated baby food recalls have led to class action lawsuits against Gerber and other food brands shows the legal path food contamination cases can take when companies are found to have known about ingredient risks. The broader California Dairies contamination event also closely parallels how the a2 Platinum infant formula recall over bacterial toxin contamination unfolded — a single upstream ingredient supplier triggering a wave of downstream product recalls affecting consumers nationwide.

If you consumed any of the recalled seasoning and developed Salmonella symptoms — fever, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting — see a doctor and report the illness to the FDA at fda.gov/medwatch. If you suffered documented harm, a product liability attorney can assess your options in a free consultation.

Does Your Blackstone Parmesan Ranch Seasoning Need to Go in the Trash?

Turn the container upside down. The lot code and best-by date are printed on the bottom. If your bottle matches any of the following, stop using it immediately:

Lot Number	Best If Used By Date
2025-43282	July 2, 2027
2025-46172	August 5, 2027
2026-54751	August 12, 2027

If your bottle has a different lot number or a different best-by date than the three listed above, it is not currently part of this specific recall action. The UPC on all recalled containers is 7 17604 04106 2.

For Canadian consumers: The Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued a recall for Blackstone brand Parmesan Ranch Seasoning on May 15, 2026, published May 19, 2026, classified as a Class 2 recall, Recall ID RA-82092. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency listed the affected product as 207 g Blackstone Parmesan Ranch Seasoning with UPC 7 17604 04106 2, code 2025-46172, and best-before date August 5, 2027. This product was distributed online and in Ontario. Do not use, sell, serve or distribute the affected product.

Consumers Outside the U.S. and Ontario — Are You Affected?

In the United States, the recalled seasoning was sold exclusively through Walmart stores nationwide and the Blackstone Products website, meaning anyone in any U.S. state who purchased the product through those channels could have an affected bottle. For Canada, the recall currently covers online sales and Ontario retail distribution only, with lot 2025-46172 being the only affected Canadian batch.

If you consumed recalled Blackstone Parmesan Ranch seasoning and developed illness, a product liability attorney can provide a free consultation to assess whether you have grounds for a legal claim.

What Could Affected Consumers Seek If This Recall Leads to Legal Action?

No class action lawsuit has been filed against Blackstone Products over this recall as of May 30, 2026. The recall is precautionary and no illnesses have been confirmed. However, when food recalls involve documented contamination in the upstream supply chain, consumers who suffer confirmed Salmonella illness may have grounds to pursue product liability claims for medical expenses, lost income, and other damages.

What Happens If You Get Sick From Recalled Blackstone Seasoning?

If you develop symptoms consistent with Salmonella — fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal cramps — within six days of using this seasoning, see a doctor immediately and ask for a Salmonella test. Keep the container, the receipt, and all medical records. Report the illness to the FDA at fda.gov/medwatch or by calling 1-800-FDA-1088. These steps preserve your legal options and help regulators track the full scope of any outbreak.

What to Do Right Now If You Have This Seasoning

1. Check the bottom of the container immediately. Match the lot number and best-by date to the three recalled lots: 2025-43282 (July 2, 2027), 2025-46172 (August 5, 2027), or 2026-54751 (August 12, 2027). If it matches, move to step 2.
   
2. Stop using it and discard it safely. You can throw it away in a secure garbage can with a tight-fitting lid after first double-bagging or wrapping it so other people and pets cannot access it, or you can return it to the store where you purchased it for a full refund.
   
3. Wash your hands and any surfaces the bottle touched. Bacteria on the bottle gets onto hands, then onto plates, utensils, and food. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water and wipe down any surfaces the container contacted.
   
4. Get a replacement or refund. 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. Walmart stores will also provide a full refund in-store.
   
5. Watch for symptoms. Salmonella symptoms — fever, stomach cramps, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting — typically develop within six hours to six days of exposure. Most healthy adults recover within four to seven days. If symptoms are severe or last more than a week, seek medical care.
   
6. Report any illness to the FDA. File a MedWatch report at fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088. For Canada: contact the CFIA at 1-613-773-2342 or [email protected].
   
7. Keep documentation. If you became sick, save the recalled container, your purchase receipt or order confirmation, and all medical records. This matters if a class action lawsuit is filed or if you pursue an individual product liability claim.

Blackstone Parmesan Ranch Seasoning Recall — Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Blackstone Parmesan Ranch seasoning recall still active in the US and Canada?

 Yes. Blackstone Products voluntarily recalled certain lots of Blackstone Parmesan Ranch seasoning on May 15, 2026, due to potential Salmonella contamination. In Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency published a recall notice on May 19, 2026, classified as Class 2 recall RA-82092. Both recalls remain active as of May 30, 2026.

Has anyone gotten sick from the recalled Blackstone Parmesan Ranch seasoning? 

No illnesses have been reported to date. The recall is precautionary — triggered by the upstream California Dairies dry milk powder recall, not by confirmed illness in consumers.

I bought Blackstone Parmesan Ranch at Walmart. How do I get a refund? 

You can return the product to any Walmart store for a full refund. You can also contact Blackstone Products directly at 1-888-879-4610 to obtain a replacement product between 8 AM and 5 PM EST, Monday through Friday.

Will cooking the seasoning at high heat make it safe? 

Cooking food at high enough temperatures does kill Salmonella. However, the real risk is cross-contamination — when you handle an infected bottle, the bacteria gets on your hands, and then onto clean plates, utensils, or other food. The FDA’s position is clear: do not use the recalled product. Discard it.

Which lot numbers are recalled and where do I find them? 

The recalled lot numbers are 2025-43282, 2025-46172, and 2026-54751. The lot code and best-by dates are located on the bottom of the product packaging.

 No class action has been filed as of May 30, 2026. If you consumed the recalled seasoning and developed confirmed Salmonella symptoms requiring medical care, a product liability attorney can provide a free consultation to evaluate whether you have grounds for a legal claim.

Why did this recall happen and who is responsible?

 Blackstone Products discovered the problem after California Dairies, Inc. recalled dry milk powder due to potential Salmonella contamination. The affected milk powder was supplied to a third-party manufacturer and used in the seasoning product. The contamination originated at the dairy powder supplier level — not at Blackstone’s own facility.

I am a Canadian consumer. What should I do?

 Do not use, sell, serve or distribute the affected product. The recalled Canadian lot is 2025-46172 with best-before date August 5, 2027, sold in 207 g containers with UPC 7 17604 04106 2 through online channels and Ontario retailers.
