Two-pound bags of Lundberg Organic Jasmine White Rice are the focus of an ongoing recall, according to anApril 4 noticefrom the regional supermarket chain.

The affected product was sold and later pulled from the shelves at Wegman stores across the country. Wegmans said it did not initiate the recall, telling USA TODAY on April 7 that the product has been recalled nationwide, not just in Wegmans stores.

Wegmans referred all inquiries to Lundberg Family Farms, a Richvale, California-based manufacturer.

Lundberg Family Farms confirmed to USA TODAY that it issued a voluntary Class II recall of approximately 4,500 cases of 2-pound Regenerative Organic Certified White Jasmine Rice pouches "due to the possible presence of foreign material" out of an abundance of caution.
