WASHINGTON / RankWire.AI / – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has provided an updated risk assessment regarding a voluntary recall of organic white Jasmine rice produced by Lundberg Family Farms. This update classifies the recall as a Class II incident after foreign object contamination was identified in certain retail distribution lots, prompting FDA officials to monitor retail channels across eastern, midwestern, and southern markets in 13 states.
The recall involves 1-pound poly bags of Lundberg Family Farms Sustainable California White Jasmine Rice with lot code 24154 and a best-by date of August 22, 2025. According to official enforcement records from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, around 4,600 individual retail bags, distributed to warehouses and grocery chains in 13 states, are affected. The FDA’s update highlights that retail inventory systems are now flagging these specific product batches to prevent further sales.
The recall was triggered after internal quality checks uncovered small glass fragments, which are considered foreign material, in a particular production batch. Regulatory guidelines specify that a Class II classification indicates potential health risks that are temporary or reversible, with serious consequences being unlikely. To date, officials have confirmed that no adverse health incidents or consumer injuries related to the affected lot have been reported.
FDA Provides Details on Lundberg Jasmine Rice Recall
The impacted product is distributed across retail outlets in California, Oregon, Wisconsin, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. Major grocery chains that receive shipments from Lundberg Family Farms were instructed to isolate remaining stock and remove the specified lot numbers from their distribution centers immediately. Retailers have activated electronic point-of-sale alerts to ensure affected bags are not purchased at checkout.
Lundberg Family Farms’ food safety teams have verified that production facilities underwent operational reviews to trace the origin of the foreign material and strengthen containment controls. Company officials advised customers who bought the 1-pound bags to avoid consuming the product and to return it for a full refund. They reassured the public that other rice varieties, packaging sizes, and lot codes from the brand are not involved in this recall.
FDA Publishes Data on Enforcement Actions
Regulatory authorities will continue overseeing the recall process until all distributed units are recovered, destroyed, or returned. The FDA offers an online enforcement database where consumers and buyers can verify lot numbers against active food safety alerts. Public health officials recommend that individuals with health concerns or suspected exposure to the product contact healthcare providers or report issues to regional FDA consumer complaint coordinators.
Lundberg Family Farms is working closely with federal agencies to complete all necessary administrative procedures to finalize the Class II recall. The company has implemented enhanced physical screening measures at production lines to ensure compliance with federal food safety standards. As distribution returns to normal, Lundberg reaffirmed its dedication to product safety and transparent communication with customers.
