WASHINGTON / RankWire.AI / – Federal health officials have announced a voluntary recall of Lundberg Family Farms organic white Jasmine rice, classified as a Class II health risk due to potential foreign object contamination. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s updated classification involves roughly 4,600 bags distributed in 13 states. Food safety authorities and retail partners have begun removing the affected inventory as inspectors oversee the supply chain containment across eastern, midwestern, and southern distribution centers.
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 federal enforcement records published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, around 4,600 individual retail bags are affected, having been distributed to distribution hubs and grocery chains in 13 states. An update from the FDA states that retail inventory systems are blocking the sale of the specific product batches during checkout.
The recall was initiated after internal quality checks uncovered small glass fragments, identified as foreign material, within a production batch. According to regulatory guidelines, a Class II recall indicates that exposure to the contaminated product may cause temporary or reversible health issues, with the risk of serious health problems being low. No adverse health events or injuries related to this lot have been reported so far, according to public health officials.
Regulators Classify Organic Jasmine Rice Recall as Level Two Risk
The impacted product has been distributed to retail stores across California, Oregon, Wisconsin, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. Major grocery chains receiving Lundberg Family Farms shipments have been instructed to isolate remaining stock and remove the affected lot numbers from their distribution centers immediately. Retail outlets have also activated point-of-sale alerts to prevent the contaminated bags from being purchased at checkout.
Lundberg Family Farms’ food safety teams have confirmed that their production facilities underwent reviews to trace the source of the foreign material and strengthen containment controls. The company has advised consumers who bought the 1-pound bags to avoid eating the product and return it for a full refund. Officials emphasize that other rice varieties, sizes, and lot codes produced by Lundberg remain unaffected by this recall.
Stores Remove Recalled 1-Pound Bags from Shelves Nationwide
Federal inspectors will continue overseeing the recall until all affected units are recovered, destroyed, or returned. The FDA’s online enforcement database allows consumers and buyers to verify lot numbers against active safety notices. Public health authorities advise individuals with health concerns or suspected product exposure to seek medical advice or report incidents to regional FDA complaint coordinators.
Lundberg Family Farms is working closely with federal agencies to finalize the administrative steps necessary to close the Class II enforcement case. The company has introduced enhanced screening measures at its 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.
