Latest News About Lundberg White Rice Recall

Here’s what’s known about the Lundberg white rice recall as of the latest reports:

• The recall centers on Lundberg Organic Jasmine White Rice sold in two-pound bags, distributed nationwide through several major grocers (including Wegmans). The reason given is possible foreign material contamination, and the recall is classified as a Class II (moderate risk) by authorities, meaning exposure may cause temporary or reversible health effects.[1][3][4][6]
• About 4,500 cases are affected, and Wegmans has issued a recall with instructions for customers to avoid the product and to return it for a full refund; other retailers have not uniformly issued recalls at the same time, though reports indicate broader distribution.[3][6][1]
• Consumers who purchased the affected bags should check for specific lot codes and best-by dates to identify recall products; the commonly cited codes relate to February 2027 best-by dates (e.g., 260201 and 260202) for the two-pound bags, with UPC 073416-040281 associated with the recalled lots in Wegmans notices. Always verify against local retailer recall updates or the FDA/consumer watchdogs for the latest specifics.[5][6][1]
