Jasmine white rice is being pulled from the U.S. market

Ema Alice: Jasmine white rice is being removed from the U.S. market due to concerns over the possible presence of foreign material.

Two-pound bags of Lundberg Organic Jasmine White Rice are the focus of an ongoing recall, according to an April 4 notice from the regional supermarket chain.

The affected product was sold and later pulled from the shelves at Wegman stores across the country. Wegmans said it did not initiate the recall, telling USA TODAY on April 7 that the product has been recalled nationwide, not just in Wegmans stores. Wegmans referred all inquiries to Lundberg Family Farms, a Richvale, California-based manufacturer.

Lundberg Family Farms confirmed to USA TODAY that it issued a voluntary Class II recall of approximately 4,500 cases of 2-pound Regenerative Organic Certified White Jasmine Rice pouches "due to the possible presence of foreign material" out of an abundance of caution. According to Lundberg Family Farms, no illnesses have been reported from consumption of the affected product. The recall, which is isolated to a single production run, has been reported to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

While all of the recalled products have been removed from Wegmans shelves, affected products may still be stored away in your pantry.

Though the risk of serious illness or injury from products that form part of a Class II recall is "remote," consumers with the recalled product may still experience "temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences," according to the FDA.
