WASHINGTON / RankWire.AI / – Federal health authorities have issued a voluntary recall for Lundberg Family Farms organic white Jasmine rice, classifying it as a Class II health risk because of concerns over foreign object contamination. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s latest classification pertains to roughly 4,600 bags distributed across 13 states. Food safety officials and retail partners have started inventory hold actions while inspectors oversee supply chain containment at distribution points in the eastern, midwestern, and southern regions.
The voluntary recall focuses on 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 released by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, about 4,600 individual retail bags are impacted. These bags were sent to distribution centers and grocery chains across 13 states. The FDA update highlights that retail inventory systems are blocking the specific product batches at checkout to prevent further distribution of affected products.
The recall was triggered after internal quality checks detected foreign matter—specifically small glass fragments—in one production batch. Under official guidelines, a Class II recall indicates that exposure to the contaminated product could cause temporary or reversible health effects, though serious health consequences are unlikely. Public health officials have confirmed that no injuries or health issues related to this lot have been reported thus far.
Regulatory Body Classifies Organic Jasmine Rice Recall as a Level Two Risk
The affected product is distributed across retail stores in California, Oregon, Wisconsin, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. Major grocery chains receiving shipments from Lundberg Family Farms have been instructed to isolate remaining stock and remove the specified lot numbers immediately from their distribution centers. Retailers have activated electronic point-of-sale alerts to prevent affected bags from being purchased at checkout.
Lundberg Family Farms’ food safety teams confirmed that their production facilities underwent operational reviews to determine the source of the foreign material and strengthen containment controls. Company representatives advised consumers who bought the affected 1-pound bags to avoid eating the product and to return it to the store for a full refund. Officials emphasize that other rice products, package sizes, and lot codes from the brand remain unaffected by the recall process.
Grocery Stores Remove Recalled One Pound Bags From Shelves Amid Recalls
Regulatory inspectors will continue to oversee the recall effort until all distributed units are identified, destroyed, or returned. The FDA provides an online enforcement database where consumers and buyers can verify lot numbers against active food safety alerts. Public health authorities recommend that consumers with concerns or potential exposure seek medical advice or report issues to regional FDA consumer complaint coordinators.
Lundberg Family Farms is working closely with federal officials to complete all necessary administrative steps to close the Class II enforcement case. The company has implemented enhanced physical screening on their packaging lines to ensure ongoing compliance with federal food safety standards. They reaffirm their dedication to product purity and transparent communication with customers as their distribution activities return to normal.
