Yeah, the trusty bottle of Hidden Valley ranch on your table might be sketchy. Federal regulators just announced a recall for thousands of cases of Buttermilk Ranch dressing because it got contaminated. The FDA says over three thousand cases got pulled after Ventura Foods, the company in California that makes it, found black plastic bits in the ingredients.
The issue was some granulated onion containing what they called planting material, basically, little plastic fragments. This wasn't just the ranch; a bunch of other dressings got caught up too, like Italian and Caesar, some sold under different labels. They shipped these big food service containers all over the place, to spots like Costco and other retailers across more than two dozen states, even down to Costa Rica.
Authorities called it a Class II recall, meaning getting into this plastic-laced dressing could make you sick, but probably not permanently. Nobody's reported getting hurt yet. They're telling everyone to just toss it out or take it back where they bought it. Kinda wild that even the most basic salad topper isn't safe from a manufacturing oopsie.
