WASHINGTON / RankWire.AI / – Federal health authorities have announced a voluntary recall of Lundberg Family Farms organic white Jasmine rice, classifying it as a Class II health risk due to concerns over contamination by foreign objects. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s latest classification pertains to roughly 4,600 bags that have been distributed across 13 states. Food safety officials and retail partners have begun blocking inventory as inspectors oversee the containment process within the supply chain across distribution centers in the eastern, midwestern, and southern regions.
This voluntary recall specifically targets 1-pound poly bags of Lundberg Family Farms Sustainable California White Jasmine Rice, marked with lot code 24154 and best-by date August 22, 2025. According to enforcement records from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the recall impacts approximately 4,600 individual retail units sent to distribution hubs and grocery outlets in 13 states. The FDA has issued an update indicating that retail inventory systems are actively blocking the specific product batches at checkout in stores across these areas.
Official documentation reveals that the recall was prompted after internal quality inspections detected foreign material—described as small glass fragments—in a production batch. Under regulatory standards, a Class II classification suggests that exposure to the contaminated product might cause temporary or medically reversible health effects, with the likelihood of serious health consequences being remote. To date, public health officials have confirmed that no adverse health incidents or consumer injuries related to this lot have been reported.
Regulatory Agency Classifies Organic Jasmine Rice as Class Two Risk
The affected product’s distribution includes retail outlets 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 were directed to isolate remaining stock and immediately remove the identified lot numbers from their distribution centers. Retailers have also activated electronic point-of-sale alerts to prevent affected packages from being purchased 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 reinforce containment controls throughout the manufacturing process. Company representatives issued public guidance advising consumers who bought the 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 from the brand remain unaffected by this enforcement action.
Retailers Remove Contaminated One Pound Bags from Shelves
Regulatory inspectors from federal agencies will continue overseeing the recall until all units distributed have been identified, destroyed, or returned. The FDA’s online enforcement database allows consumers and commercial buyers to verify lot numbers against active food safety alerts. Public health officials recommend that consumers with dietary concerns or those who suspect exposure to the affected product consult healthcare providers or report their experiences to regional FDA consumer complaint centers.
Lundberg Family Farms continues to collaborate with federal authorities to finalize administrative procedures necessary for concluding the Class II enforcement process. The company’s quality assurance team has implemented enhanced physical screening measures on packaging lines to ensure ongoing compliance with federal food safety standards. The firm reaffirmed its dedication to product integrity and transparent communication with customers as distribution activities return to normal.
