THURSDAY, Oct. 16, 2025 (HealthDay News) \u2014 Consumers are being warned to check their kitchen shelves for certain Ben\u2019s Original Ready Rice products that may contain small stones.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced earlier this week that the company is recalling several batches of its microwaveable rice products.<\/p>\n
