This is part of a bigger recall issued, out of an abundance of caution, by Richvale, California-based Lundberg Family Farms of approximately 4,500 cases of 2-pound Regenerative Organic Certified White Jasmine Rice pouches "due to the possible presence of foreign material," the company confirmed to USA Today.
