Ben’s Original Ready Rice Recalled
On October 10, 2025, Ben's Original issued a recall of certain batches of Ben's Original Ready Rice Long Grain White Rice, Ready Rice Whole Grain Brown Rice, and Ready Rice Long Grain & Wild Rice because they may contain small stones, which could potentially injure the mouth or digestive tract if consumed. The stones are naturally occurring and may have originated from the farm where the rice was grown.
(See ConsumerLab's Rice Review for our tests of white, brown, black, wild, and combination rice products and our Top Picks.)
Recalled Ben's Original Ready Rice Long Grain White Rice, Ready Rice Whole Grain Brown Rice, and Ready Rice Long Grain & Wild Rice were distributed by Associated Grocers, C&S, and Dot Foods from August through September to Amazon, HEB, Piggly Wiggly, Target, United Markets, and possibly other retailers. They can be identified by the following batch codes and "best by" dates, both of which are printed on the bottom seal of the back of the package:
- Ben's Original Ready Rice Long Grain White Rice, Batch Codes: 533ELGRV22, 534ALGRV22, Best By Date: 8/2026
