Ben's Original (formerly Uncle Ben’s) has issued a voluntary recall for a limited number of rice products due to the potential presence of small stones. Naturally occurring, originating from the rice farm, the stones may pose a risk of oral or digestive tract injury, although no injuries have been reported.

The recall affects specific batch codes for Long Grain White, Whole Grain Brown, and Long Grain & Wild Rice products, all with a "best by" date of August 2026. Consumers should check their packages and return affected products to the store for a refund.

The company website says, “This is an isolated issue limited to these batches, no other Ben's Original products are affected. In line with our commitment to transparency and trust, we are taking action to remove the impacted products from the stores where they were sent and to notify consumers.”

If you believe you have purchased this product, please do not consume it.  Contact Ben’s Original Consumer Care or your local retailer for returns.  For more information and specific products impacted, retailers, and batch codes, please visit the FDA website.
