Organic Rice Recall: Lundberg Pulls Jasmine White Rice Over Foreign Material
Got a bag of Lundberg Organic Jasmine White Rice tucked away somewhere? Go check it before your next meal.
Wegmans pulled two-pound bags of the product after Lundberg Family Farms issued a voluntary recall covering roughly 4,500 cases due to possible foreign material contamination. The recall hits a single production run and has been flagged with the FDA. No illnesses have been reported.
This isn't just a Wegmans thing, either — the recall is nationwide across all retailers that carried it. Wegmans just happened to be the store that put out the notice and is directing all questions to Lundberg directly.
How to Know If Your Bag Is Affected
The specific product is the 2-pound Regenerative Organic Certified White Jasmine Rice pouch. Look for UPC 073416-040281 on the bag. If the best-by date reads 2/1/2027 or 2/2/2027 and the lot code is either 260201 or 260202, that is the one. Do not eat it.
What to Do If You Have It
Wegmans will take it back for a full refund, no questions asked. Their customer service line is 855-934-3663, available daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET. Customers who did not purchase from Wegmans should contact the retailer where they bought it or reach out to Lundberg Family Farms directly through their website.
What the FDA Classification Means
The FDA classified this as a Class II recall, which means the risk of serious harm is considered unlikely. However, temporary or reversible health effects are possible depending on what the foreign material turns out to be. Class II is the middle tier of FDA recall classifications — less severe than Class I, which covers products with a reasonable probability of causing serious harm, but still serious enough to warrant removing the product from shelves and homes.
Lundberg Family Farms is a well-regarded California-based company known for its organic and sustainably grown rice products. The company initiated the recall voluntarily, which is standard practice when a potential contamination issue is identified during internal quality checks. The FDA has not publicly specified what type of foreign material prompted the action.
Who Makes Lundberg Rice
Founded in 1937 in Richvale, California, Lundberg Family Farms has built a reputation over decades for organic and eco-friendly farming practices. The brand is widely carried at major grocery chains and natural food stores across the country, making this recall relevant to shoppers well beyond Wegmans customers.
If you have the affected product at home, the safest move is straightforward — set it aside, don't cook with it, and bring it back for a refund. The few minutes it takes is worth it.
