Latest News About Lundberg White Rice Recall

Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reports:

Core update

About 4,500 cases were affected. Wegmans is offering full refunds for the recalled product; other retailers have not uniformly issued refunds or recall notices at this time. [sources indicate recall from Wegmans with nationwide distribution and Class II designation, meaning temporary or reversible health effects are possible if consumed] [web sources: Delish, People, Prevention, Independent, and others]
