Ben’s Original recalls rice products over small stones contamination risk

Ben’s Original has issued a voluntary recall of several rice products sold across the United States due to the potential presence of small stones that could pose a risk of mouth or gastrointestinal injury if ingested.

The recall covers specific batches of “white long grain,” “brown whole grain,” and “long grain and wild rice” products with best-by dates of August 2026, according to a Tuesday announcement from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The stones are described as “natural” and sourced from rice farms, as stated in the advertisement.

The affected products were distributed through major retailers, including Target, Piggly Wiggly, United Markets, Amazon and HEB.

“Consistent with our commitment to transparency and trust, we are taking action to remove affected products from the stores to which they were sent and notify consumers,” Ben’s Original noted in the announcement.

No injuries or illnesses have been reported, and no other Ben Original products are affected. Shoppers who have purchased any of the recalled items are urged not to eat them.
