"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?
Pffffft!

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

Where was it grown? It's rice, for godsake. Factory farming manage to screw that up?

"due to the possible presence of foreign material."

Damn open borders.

@#4 ... Where was it grown? ...

... 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. ...

US FDA farm inspectors?

Do they still exist after Pres Trump's DOGE?

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.

Using Google search ... Which most technologists know how to use. The information is easily attained.

California has a direct state partnership with the FDA through the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA).

Under this agreement, the CDFA operates a dedicated Produce Safety Program (PSP) to handle on-farm all food safety regulations across the state.

Under both Newsom and Trump the agency has cut back inspectors to the point Newsom has cut 69 inspector positions.

*Sigh*

Every day comes a report of unsafe food or another Republican/faux Christian child molester exposed.

The daily shootings are no longer discussed unless the casualties are over five.

Other countries have issued travel warnings for their citizens coming to the US about measles, firearm violence, or brutal ICE enforcement.

Soon will come warnings about unsafe food.

But hey, the 2024 Democrats got those all important 140 Israeli hostages released, something ICC-indicted PM Benjamin Netanyahu could have easily done himself by releasing any of the plus 3,000 Palestinians being held without hearing in Israeli Death Forces (IDF) custody. USSECSTATE Antony Blinken's eleven trips to Israel in 2024 was such grand kabuki theater, along with the incessant drumbeat of "the Israeli hostages," while the Gaza Strip was razed to the ground and 41,000 Palestinians got slaughtered.

Now we suffer through dystopia in Amerikkka.

Conditions will not improve for everyday Americans, unless they live in progressive states. In NYC, funding continues to help poor people, take weapons off the streets, and conduct food and restaurant inspections. The NYC Public Health Dept was a pioneer in sanitation, hygiene, and disease mitigation last century.

I rinse my rice before cooking. Same with beans and about all dry goods that aren't flour. If there are oogers present they float to the top.

Then I cook them in boiling water.

It's a mid 20th century self-defense mechanism I learned from growing up poor and buying out of bins and not something in bags.
