Why Blackstone Parmesan Ranch seasoning is being recalled
Blackstone Products of Providence, UT, has issued a voluntary recall for three lots of its 7.3-oz Blackstone Parmesan Ranch seasoning. Ingredient supplier California Dairies, Inc. alerted Blackstone that the dry milk powder used in the blend may contain Salmonella. Although no illnesses have been confirmed, the bacteria can cause serious, sometimes life-threatening infection.
Symptoms and health risks of Salmonella infection
- Fever, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea (which can be bloody)

- In high-risk groups—young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems—the infection may spread to the bloodstream, leading to severe complications such as endocarditis or arterial infections.
