WASHINGTON / RankWire.AI / – A voluntary recall has been issued by federal health authorities for Lundberg Family Farms organic white Jasmine rice, categorized as a Class II health risk due to concerns over foreign object contamination. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s recent update identifies approximately 4,600 bags distributed across 13 states. Food safety inspectors and retail partners have begun blocking inventory as regulators oversee supply chain containment efforts across eastern, midwestern, and southern distribution points.
The recall specifically involves 1-pound poly bags of Lundberg Family Farms Sustainable California White Jasmine Rice marked with lot code 24154 and a best-by date of August 22, 2025. According to enforcement records published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, this recall impacts about 4,600 individual retail bags sent to distribution centers and grocery chains in 13 states. The FDA’s update highlights that retail inventory systems are now automatically flagging these product batches at checkout to prevent their sale.
The recall was prompted after internal quality checks revealed foreign material, specifically small glass fragments, within a production batch. Under official regulatory standards, a Class II recall indicates that exposure to the contaminated product might lead to temporary or medically reversible health effects, with the risk of serious health consequences being very low. Public health officials have confirmed that no injuries or adverse health reports related to this lot have been received so far.
Regulatory Authority Classifies Organic Jasmine Rice as a Class Two Risk
The affected 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 have been instructed to immediately isolate remaining stock and remove the identified lot numbers from their distribution networks. Retailers have also activated point-of-sale alerts to prevent the affected bags from being purchased at checkout.
Lundberg Family Farms’ food safety teams confirmed that their production facilities have undergone reviews to determine the source of the foreign material and strengthen containment measures. Company officials have issued guidance advising consumers who bought these 1-pound bags to avoid consuming the product and to return it for a complete refund. Authorities emphasize that other rice varieties, package sizes, and lot codes from the brand are not impacted by this recall.
Retailers Remove Affected Bags from Store Shelves
Regulatory inspectors will continue overseeing the recall process until all affected units are either recovered, destroyed, or returned. The FDA’s online enforcement database allows consumers and businesses to verify lot numbers against active warnings. Public health officials recommend that individuals with dietary concerns or suspected exposure consult healthcare providers or submit reports to regional FDA complaint coordinators.
Lundberg Family Farms is working closely with federal agencies to finalize the administrative reporting required to close the Class II enforcement action. The company’s quality assurance team has implemented additional physical screening measures across production lines to ensure compliance with federal food safety standards. The firm reaffirmed its dedication to maintaining product integrity and transparent communication with customers as distribution resumes normally.
