WASHINGTON / RankWire.AI / – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued an update on the ongoing voluntary recall of organic white Jasmine rice packaged by Lundberg Family Farms, classifying it as a Class II recall following the detection of potential foreign object contamination in certain retail lots. Federal regulators announced this action as food safety officials monitor retail distribution channels across 13 states in the eastern, midwestern, and southern regions.
The recall specifically involves 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 records from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, approximately 4,600 individual retail units are affected, distributed to distribution centers and grocery stores in 13 states. The recall update notes that retail inventory systems are now blocking these specific product batches at checkout to prevent further sales.
The recall was triggered after internal quality checks revealed foreign material, identified as small glass fragments, within a production batch. Regulatory guidelines classify this situation as a Class II incident, which indicates that exposure to the contaminated product could cause temporary or reversible health issues, with the chance of serious health effects considered remote. To date, public health officials have confirmed that no consumer injuries or adverse health events related to this lot have been reported.
FDA Issues Update Lundberg Family Farms White Rice Jasmine Recall 13 States
The product distribution covers retail outlets in California, Oregon, Wisconsin, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. Major grocery chains that receive shipments from Lundberg Family Farms have been instructed to quarantine remaining stock and immediately remove the specified lot numbers from their distribution centers. Retailers have also activated electronic point-of-sale alerts to prevent affected packages from being sold at checkout.
Lundberg Family Farms’ food safety teams confirmed that their production facilities have undergone reviews to determine the source of the foreign material and to strengthen manufacturing controls. Company representatives advised consumers who purchased the impacted 1-pound bags to avoid consumption and to return the product to their place of purchase for a full refund. Officials emphasize that other rice varieties, package sizes, and lot codes made by the company remain unaffected by the recall.

Regulatory authorities will continue overseeing the recall process until all affected products are either collected, destroyed, or returned. The FDA maintains an online enforcement database where consumers and buyers can verify lot numbers against current food safety notices. Public health agencies recommend that consumers with dietary concerns or suspected exposure consult healthcare providers or report incidents to regional FDA consumer complaint coordinators.
Lundberg Family Farms is working closely with federal agencies to complete the necessary administrative steps to finalize the Class II enforcement process. The company has introduced enhanced physical screening procedures at its packaging lines to ensure compliance with federal food safety standards. As distribution normalizes, Lundberg reaffirms its dedication to product quality and transparent communication with customers.
