WASHINGTON / RankWire.AI / – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued an updated classification regarding a voluntary recall of organic white Jasmine rice produced by Lundberg Family Farms. The federal authorities designated this recall as a Class II incident after discovering potential contamination from foreign objects in certain retail distribution lots. FDA updates highlight that Lundberg Family Farms’ white jasmine rice recall affects 13 states, as food safety inspectors actively trace retail distribution channels across eastern, midwestern, and southern regions.
The recall specifically targets 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 records published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, approximately 4,600 individual retail bags have been impacted. These products have been distributed to various distribution centers and grocery stores across 13 states. As stores process transactions, automated checkout systems are now blocking the sale of these specific batches, reflecting the ongoing efforts to contain the issue.
The recall was initiated after internal quality control procedures uncovered foreign material—described as small glass fragments—within a particular batch of rice. Under official regulatory classifications, a Class II recall indicates that exposure to the contaminated product could lead to temporary or reversible health effects, though the likelihood of serious health consequences remains low. Public health officials have confirmed that to date, no injuries or adverse health events related to this lot have been reported.
FDA Issues Update Lundberg Family Farms White Rice Jasmine Recall 13 States
The distribution network for the affected rice includes retail stores across California, Oregon, Wisconsin, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. Major grocery chains that received shipments from Lundberg Family Farms have been instructed to isolate remaining stock and remove the specified lot numbers from their distribution points immediately. Additionally, retail outlets have activated electronic point-of-sale alerts to prevent the affected bags from being purchased at checkout, reducing consumer exposure.
Lundberg Family Farms’ food safety teams have conducted operational audits at their production facilities to identify the source of the foreign matter and strengthen containment procedures. Company representatives have issued public guidance advising consumers who purchased the 1-pound bags to avoid consumption and return the product to the point of sale for a full refund. Officials stress that other rice products from the brand, including different varieties, sizes, and lot codes, are not impacted by this recall and remain safe for consumption.
U.S. Food and Drug Administration Publishes Federal Enforcement Report Metrics
Regulatory authorities will continue overseeing the recall process until all distributed items are either recovered, destroyed, or returned. The FDA provides an online enforcement database that allows consumers and retailers to verify lot numbers and confirm active safety warnings. Public health officials recommend that individuals with dietary concerns or those who suspect they have consumed the affected product seek medical advice or report their experience to regional FDA consumer complaint coordinators.
Lundberg Family Farms remains in close coordination with federal agencies to fulfill all administrative reporting requirements necessary to conclude the Class II enforcement action. The company has implemented additional screening measures on their packaging lines to ensure compliance with federal food safety standards. As distribution stabilizes, Lundberg reaffirms its commitment to maintaining product integrity and transparent communication with customers about safety measures.
