Walmart Recall Has Montana Grill Masters Checking The Spice Rack

If there’s one thing Montana people take seriously once the weather finally warms up, it’s grilling season.

Blackstone griddles come rolling out of garages. Somebody’s uncle starts cooking burgers in cargo shorts even though it’s still 48 degrees outside. Ranch seasoning starts getting sprinkled on absolutely everything that can legally be called food.

Now, a popular seasoning sold at Walmart is being pulled from shelves nationwide.

According to reports from the FDA and multiple news outlets, Blackstone Parmesan Ranch seasoning is under a nationwide recall due to potential Salmonella contamination tied to a dry milk powder ingredient.

The “best by” dates range from July through August of 2027. The lot numbers are printed on the bottom of the container.

The products were sold nationwide through Walmart stores and Blackstone’s website. So yes, there’s a pretty decent chance somebody in Montana has one sitting next to the Traeger pellets and half-used taco seasoning packets right now.

The Words “Fatal Infection Risk” Tend To Get Your Attention

No illnesses have been reported so far, which is the good news.

But the FDA classified this as a serious recall because Salmonella can be dangerous, especially for kids, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Symptoms can include fever, nausea, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting. In rare cases, things can get much worse.

Basically, this is not one of those “eh, I’ll risk it” moments people usually have with expired ranch dressing in the garage fridge.

Montana People Know Better Than To Waste Good Meat

Honestly, this whole thing feels especially painful because Parmesan ranch seasoning sounds exactly like something Montanans would dump all over elk burgers, chicken thighs, potatoes, or anything cooked on a Blackstone griddle after a long day outside.

Now everybody’s gotta play a fun little game called “check the spice cabinet and hope for the best.”

If you do have one of the affected containers, the FDA says toss it immediately and contact Blackstone for replacement information.
