"As Delish reported back in April, the affected rice products were recalled due to the possible presence of foreign material. However, specifics on what that material is have still not been provided (although common offenders include stones, wood, metal, and plastic)."

Four months later, still dunno why?
Raccoon pizzles? Bear juice? Nails? Gunpowder?
Transparency?

54000 pounds of rice? Some Walmarts probably sell that much in a month.

"due to the possible presence of foreign material."

Damn open borders.

... Does all of your rice come from California?

More than 90% of our rice comes from California, where our family has been farming for four generations. When the available rice supply in California is not sufficient to meet demand, we work with trusted farmers in the Southern United States, Minnesota, Italy, Argentina, and Thailand whose high standards for quality and sustainability are consistent with ours.

Where do you source your rice from?

Packaged Rice: All the rice in our 1 lb., 2 lb., 4 lb., 10 lb., and 12 lb. packages is grown in California, with the exception of Wild Blend, which contains rice grown in the US (outside of California) and the Sustainable Arborio, which contains rice grown in Italy. ...

Yeah, we're putting the new cover sheets on the TPS reports before they go out. Did you see the memo about this?

If you could just go ahead and do that from now on that would be great.

Yeah, and I'll go ahead and make sure you get another copy of that memo.
