Latest News About Lundberg White Rice Recall

Here’s the latest on the Lundberg white rice recall based on the most recent reporting I can summarize without new tool access:

• What’s recalled: Lundberg Organic Jasmine White Rice sold in 2-pound bags. The recall relates to possible foreign material contamination, and it’s been issued as a precautionary Class II recall. This means consumption could lead to temporary or reversible health effects, though the exact contaminant isn’t specified in all notices. The recall was initiated by Wegmans and has since been reported as nationwide in scope via multiple outlets.[3][4][5]

• Retail impact and guidance for consumers: Wegmans (and, in some reports, other chains) have asked customers to not eat the affected product and to return it for a full refund. The recall notice typically includes lot codes and best-by dates to help identify affected bags; one widely cited set of codes is 260201 and 260202 with best-by dates in early February 2027. If your bag matches these details, do not consume it and seek a refund from the retailer.[1][5]

• Where it was sold: The affected rice was distributed through Wegmans and other large retailers nationwide, including Walmart, Target, Hy-Vee, Giant, and similar grocery chains, in two-pound bags. This broad distribution explains why multiple outlets are issuing or reporting on the recall.[5][6][3]

• How to verify your product: Check the bag for the Lundberg Organic Jasmine White Rice label, the UPC on the package (commonly listed as 073416-040281 in recall notices), and confirm lot codes and best-by dates (notably 260201 with 02/01/2027 and 260202 with 02/02/2027). If your product matches, do not use it and return it for a refund. If you’re unsure, contact the retailer or Lundberg Family Farms for confirmation.[5]

• What to expect next: The recall is being tracked by consumer media and retailer notices; FDA involvement or enforcement updates may be referenced in official supplier communications, but some reports note that FDA enforcement details have not yet been published publicly at the time of these articles. Stay tuned to major retailer recall notices and Lundberg Family Farms communications for any updates or changes to the recall scope.[4][5]
