Ben's Original rice has issued a voluntary recall on select products due to the possible presence of small stones, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on Tuesday.
The recall affects the brand's Long Grain White, Whole Grain Brown, and Long Grain & Wild Ready Rice products. According to the FDA, the stones are naturally occurring and originate from rice farms, but consuming them could pose a risk of oral or digestive tract injury.
The affected products were distributed by Associated Grocers, C&S, and Dot Foods from August through September. Retailers impacted include HEB, Target, United Market, Amazon, and Piggly Wiggly. Each product has a best-by date of August 2026 on the bottom seal, with specific batch codes listed on the FDA website.
No illnesses have been reported to date. Customers who have purchased the affected products are urged not to consume the rice and to contact Ben's Original Consumer Care at 1-800-548-6253.
