Organic jasmine rice recall

Lundberg Family Farms has recalled some 2-pound bags of organic jasmine white rice after finding possible foreign material in the product. (wegmans.com) The affected product is Lundberg Organic Jasmine White Rice with UPC 073416-040281 and best-by dates of February 1, 2027 and February 2, 2027, tied to lot codes 260201 and 260202. Wegmans posted the notice on April 4, 2026 and said customers can return the rice for a full refund. (wegmans.com) Lundberg told USA Today the action is a voluntary Class II recall covering about 4,500 cases of 2-pound bags of Regenerative Organic Certified White Jasmine Rice. The company is based in Richvale, California, and sells rice nationally. (usatoday.com, lundberg.com) The Food and Drug Administration says food companies recall products when they may present a health hazard because they are contaminated or mislabeled. The agency’s recall dashboard says its public dataset is updated weekly and includes recalls only after they have been classified. (fda.gov, datadashboard.fda.gov) That timing helps explain why store notices and news reports moved before a full Food and Drug Administration listing was easy to find. Wegmans said it sold the rice but did not identify itself as the recalling firm. (wegmans.com, datadashboard.fda.gov) Retailers including Walmart, Target and Whole Foods also sell Lundberg rice, but the public recall notice that surfaced first came from Wegmans. News reports said those chains had not posted their own recall notices as of April 8. (usatoday.com, silive.com) Lundberg markets its rice around organic and regenerative certifications and says it has grown rice since 1937 under strict standards. This recall involves one of the company’s premium white rice products, not its full line. (lundberg.com, lundberg.com) For shoppers, the practical check is narrow: 2-pound bags, one UPC, and two lot codes. If the package matches, the current advice is to stop using it and return it for a refund. (wegmans.com)
