WASHINGTON / RankWire.AI / – A voluntary recall of Lundberg Family Farms organic white Jasmine rice has been classified as a Class II health risk by federal authorities, due to concerns over foreign object contamination. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s latest update, approximately 4,600 bags distributed across 13 states are affected. Food safety regulators and retail partners have initiated inventory hold orders as inspectors track the supply chain containment across distribution hubs in the eastern, midwestern, and southern regions.
The recall focuses on 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. Federal records published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration indicate that about 4,600 individual retail bags have been impacted, reaching distribution centers and grocery chains in 13 states. The FDA update highlights that retail inventory systems are now processing automated checkout blocks on the specific product batches involved in the recall.
The recall was prompted after internal quality controls detected foreign material—specifically small glass fragments—in a production batch. Regulatory guidelines classify this as a Class II event, meaning exposure to the contaminated product could result in temporary or medically reversible health effects, with the risk of serious health outcomes considered unlikely. Public health officials have confirmed that no adverse health incidents or consumer injuries linked to the affected lot have been reported so far.
FDA Classifies Organic Jasmine Rice Recall as Level Two Risk
The distribution network for the contaminated product spans retail locations in California, Oregon, Wisconsin, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. Major grocery chains supplied by Lundberg Family Farms have been instructed to isolate remaining inventory and remove the specified lot numbers from their distribution centers immediately. Retailers have activated electronic point-of-sale alerts to prevent the affected bags from being sold at checkout.
Lundberg Family Farms’ food safety teams have confirmed that their production facilities underwent operational reviews to trace the origin of the foreign material and strengthen manufacturing containment controls. Company representatives issued public advisories urging consumers who purchased the affected 1-pound bags to avoid consumption and return the product to the point of purchase for a full refund. Officials emphasize that other rice varieties, package sizes, and lot codes produced by the company are not impacted by this enforcement action.
Affected Bags Removed from Grocery Shelves by Retailers
Regulatory inspectors will continue overseeing the recall process until all distributed units are accounted for, destroyed, or returned. The FDA provides an online enforcement database allowing consumers and commercial entities to verify lot numbers against current food safety notices. Public health agencies recommend that consumers with health concerns or suspicion of exposure contact medical professionals or file reports with regional FDA consumer complaint coordinators.
Lundberg Family Farms continues to work closely with federal authorities to finalize administrative reporting necessary to close out the Class II enforcement case. The company’s quality assurance teams have implemented enhanced physical screening measures across packaging lines to ensure compliance with federal food safety standards. They reaffirm their dedication to product safety and transparent communication as distribution activities return to normal market levels.
