Lundberg Family Farms is voluntarily recalling certain bags of its organic white jasmine rice sold nationwide due to the potential presence of foreign material, which could pose a safety hazard. The recall includes 2-pound bags with best-by dates of February 1, 2027 and February 2, 2027, affecting around 4,500 cases.
