WASHINGTON / RankWire.AI / – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued an updated risk classification regarding a voluntary recall of organic white Jasmine rice produced by Lundberg Family Farms. The agency classified the recall as a Class II event after discovering potential contamination with foreign objects in certain retail shipment lots. FDA updates confirm the recall impacts 13 states as inspectors trace retail distribution channels throughout eastern, midwestern, and southern markets.
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 enforcement records from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, approximately 4,600 individual retail bags have been affected, distributed to distribution centers and grocery chains across the 13 states. Retail inventory systems are now processing automated alerts to block these specific product batches from sale.
The recall was triggered after internal quality checks identified small glass fragments within a production batch. Regulatory guidelines classify this as a Class II recall, indicating that exposure to the contaminated product might cause temporary or reversible health issues, though serious health consequences are considered unlikely. No reports of injuries or adverse health effects related to this lot have been received so far, according to public health officials.
FDA Provides Update on Lundberg Family Farms Jasmine Rice Recall in 13 States
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 isolate remaining stock and immediately remove the specified lot numbers from their distribution centers. Retailers have also activated electronic point-of-sale alerts to prevent affected bags from being purchased at checkout.
Lundberg Family Farms’ food safety teams confirmed that production facilities underwent thorough reviews to determine the source of the foreign material and to reinforce manufacturing controls. The company advised consumers who purchased the affected 1-pound bags to avoid consuming the product and to return it for a full refund. Officials emphasize that other rice products, sizes, and lot codes from the same brand are not impacted by this recall.
FDA Releases Federal Enforcement Data on the Rice Recall
Regulatory authorities will continue overseeing the recall process until all distributed units are identified, destroyed, or returned. The FDA maintains an online enforcement database where consumers and businesses can verify lot numbers and check for active food safety alerts. Consumers with health concerns or suspicions about product exposure are advised to consult healthcare providers or report issues to regional FDA complaint coordinators.
Lundberg Family Farms is working closely with federal agencies to finalize administrative procedures required for closing the Class II enforcement case. The company has implemented enhanced screening measures on packaging lines to ensure ongoing compliance with federal food safety standards. As distribution stabilizes, Lundberg affirms its dedication to product safety and transparent communication with customers.
