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 | Lot Number | Best If Used By |
|---|---|---|
| Blackstone Parmesan Ranch 7.3 oz #4106 | 2025-43282 | 07/02/2027 |
| Blackstone Parmesan Ranch 7.3 oz #4106 | 2025-46172 | 08/05/2027 |
| Blackstone Parmesan Ranch 7.3 oz #4106 | 2026-54751 | 08/12/2027 |
Attached 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.

Sugar Foods LLC (05/18/2026)
Sugar Foods LLC is recalling certain lots of Kroger Homestyle Cheese Garlic Croutons, 5oz pouches, UPC 0 11110 81353 4 due to the potential for Salmonella contamination associated with milk powder used as an ingredient in the product.
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. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella may 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 milk powder was supplied by California Dairies, Inc. to our seasoning supplier, Solina USA, and incorporated into the seasoning blend that Sugar Foods purchases from Solina USA and applies to the croutons. The affected seasoning batches tested negative for Salmonella prior to use.
This action follows a third-party supplier-initiated recall by California Dairies, Inc. due to concerns regarding potential Salmonella contamination in milk powder. Out of an abundance of caution, and because this milk powder was used in a seasoning ingredient supplied to Sugar Foods, the company is initiating this recall. Sugar Foods is recalling this product based on the ingredient supplier’s recall.
No illnesses have been reported to date.

The voluntary recall was initiated after the company discovered in a routine inspection that Sunflower Seeds containing Tree Nut (Cashews) were distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of Tree Nut (Cashews). Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by an oversight in the company’s production process at the changeover of products.
Consumers who have purchased the affected Sunflower Seeds are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the George J Howe Company at (800) 367 4693 M-F 8:00am to 5:00pm EST, or by email at quality@georgehowe.com.

Peanuts are not an intended ingredient in Fly By Jing Creamy Sesame Noodles. Fly By Jing discovered a third-party manufacturer produced the product on equipment that also processes peanuts under conditions that may have led to peanut being in Fly By Jing Creamy Sesame Noodles.

This expansion follows a comprehensive root cause investigation conducted by the company’s manufacturing partners in coordination with leading food safety experts and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
