Lundberg Jasmine White Rice Recall Expands to 27,324 Packages Across 12 States

If you’ve got a bag of Lundberg jasmine rice in the pantry, it’s worth a look before dinner. What started in April as a modest, Wegmans-only recall has grown considerably: the FDA confirmed on August 25, 2026 that Lundberg Family Farms’ Organic White Jasmine Rice recall now covers 27,324 packages — more than 54,000 pounds — sold across 12 states. The reason hasn’t changed since April: possible foreign material in the rice.

How This Recall Grew From April to August

Lundberg Family Farms first issued a voluntary Class II recall in early April 2026, initially described as covering around 4,500 cases of its 2-pound Organic White Jasmine Rice. Wegmans, one of the retailers that carried it, was the first to publicly pull the product and offer refunds — at that point, the recall hadn’t even appeared on the FDA’s own website yet.

That April announcement undersold the eventual scope. On August 25, 2026, the FDA released updated recall information showing the real numbers: 27,324 individual packages, totaling 54,648 pounds, distributed across 12 states rather than a handful. The reason for the recall — possible foreign material in the rice — hasn’t changed; what changed is how much of it FSIS and Lundberg have now confirmed was affected.

Neither the FDA nor Lundberg has specified exactly what the foreign material is. Recalls with this description most often involve things like small pieces of stone, wood, metal, or plastic that get into a food product during harvesting or processing — but nothing has been officially confirmed here, so don’t assume you know what you’re looking for if you check your bag.

What Products Are Affected

Only one specific product is covered by this recall: Lundberg Family Farms Organic Regenerative Organic Certified White Jasmine Rice, sold in 2-pound (32-ounce) resealable bags. To check whether a bag in your kitchen is included, look for all three of these together:

• UPC code: 073416040281
• Lot numbers: 260201MA or 260202MA
• Best-by date: February 1, 2027 or February 2, 2027

Other Lundberg products — including its Carolina Gold Rice Middlins and Wild Rice Salad With Collards and Bacon — are not part of this recall and remain fine to eat. If your rice doesn’t carry that exact UPC and one of those two lot numbers, it isn’t affected, even if it’s also jasmine rice from the same brand.

What to Do If You Have This Rice

1. Check your bag against the UPC, lot number, and best-by date above.
2. Don’t cook or eat rice that matches — foreign material like stone or metal fragments isn’t something you can reliably sort out by hand or rinse away.
3. Throw the rice away, or return it to where you bought it.
4. If you bought it at Wegmans, bring it back for a full refund — Wegmans confirmed it’s accepting returns on this recall.
5. If you bought it somewhere else — Target, Walmart, or another retailer — contact that store directly to ask about its refund policy for the recall, since not every retailer has publicly confirmed one.
6. If you’ve already eaten some and experienced any injury (a chipped tooth or mouth injury from biting down on something hard is the realistic concern with this kind of recall), seek medical or dental attention and keep the packaging.

Is There a Lawsuit Over This?

Not one that’s been publicly reported, and there’s no confirmed injury driving one yet — FDA and Lundberg both describe this as a Class II recall with no reported illnesses. Foreign-material recalls like this one typically only lead to legal claims when someone can point to an actual injury, most often a broken tooth, cut mouth, or choking incident tied to a specific object found in the product.

If that’s happened to you, save the rice, the packaging with its UPC and lot number visible, and any receipt, and get any injury documented by a dentist or doctor. That’s the kind of record a product liability attorney would need to evaluate an individual claim — this recall on its own doesn’t create a class action or a claim fund to file into.
