Urgent Recall: Over 27,000 Bags of Rice Pulled from Shelves Due to Possible Rodent Contamination
When it comes to pantry staples, rice is undoubtedly a favorite for many households. It’s versatile, nutritious, and serves as a hearty base for countless meals. But before you reach for that familiar package, it’s crucial to check the label—especially in light of a recent recall that has sent ripples through grocery stores nationwide.
What Happened?
Wehah Farms, based in Richvale, CA, has initiated a recall of Lundberg Family Farms Sustainable Wild Blend Gourmet Rice due to potential contamination with a “foreign object that appears to be of rodent origin.” This alarming news was first announced by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 10, 2024, and it has since been classified as a “Class II” recall. According to the FDA, this classification indicates that while the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences, the probability of serious adverse health effects is considered remote.
The Details of the Rice Recall
In total, 4,600 cases of rice, each containing six 1-pound poly bags, have been recalled. Consumers should be on the lookout for packages bearing the lot code 231004 and a best before date of October 4, 2024. The affected rice was distributed across several states, including Arizona, California, Florida, Maine, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Wisconsin.
What Should You Do?
If you find any of the recalled rice in your pantry, it is essential to take immediate action. The FDA advises consumers to discard the product to avoid any health risks and to contact the retailer where the rice was purchased for a refund. Keeping food safety as a priority is essential, and this is a good reminder to always check your pantry items regularly.
Stay Informed and Safe
Food recalls can happen at any time, and staying informed is key to ensuring the safety of you and your loved ones. Regularly checking reputable sources, such as the FDA website or marthastewart.com, can help keep you aware of any potential issues with food products.
Rice may be a staple in many households, but safety should always come first. If you have any concerns or need further information regarding the recall, do not hesitate to reach out to the appropriate channels or your local health department.
In conclusion, while rice can enhance our meals significantly, it’s crucial to be vigilant about what we consume. Let’s keep our kitchens safe and our meals worry-free!

How to Elevate Your Lunch with Comforting Staples
(Family Features) Savory and satisfying, comforting ingredients can transform simple recipes into mouthwatering meals. As temperatures fall, people look for comforting foods to warm the soul. For inspiration, consider Italian ingredients to help make homemade lunches easy and satisfying.
To get ready for weekday lunches, Kale Grilled Cheese sandwiches with Grana Padano PDO paired with hot soup and a Fall Grain Bowl with Prosciutto featuring Prosciutto di Parma PDO and filled with your favorite veggies are tasty options for discovering the possibilities of high-quality Italian ingredients.
These authentic products are Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) certified, a highly esteemed classification for European foods that have been produced according to the same traditional methods in a defined geographic region for centuries.
PDO-certified foods offer a guarantee of quality and authenticity. Only products made following traditional methods within defined production areas, under strict supervision and using carefully monitored ingredients qualify for PDO certification from the European Union. Among these artisan products, you’ll find some of the world’s most delicious cheeses and cured meats.
For your comfort food cravings, on an appetizer plate, drape thinly sliced, savory Prosciutto di Parma PDO and chunks of Grana Padano PDO to complement your favorite nuts and olives. Both pair beautifully with fruity red, white or sparkling wines, though they also are enjoyable with your favorite beer or soft drink. While these tastes of Italy can be enjoyed on their own, they are also capable of transforming simple dishes into decadent meals.
