Uncle Ben's rice has published a recall of all Infused Rice products. Specifically, their 5-25 pound bags of Roasted Chicken, Mexican, Garlic & Butter, Pilaf, Saffron, Spanish Rice, and Cheese flavors. If you are a parent, you may want to speak with Sodexo (or whatever food service agency your school uses) at your child's school to make sure they are aware of the recall, and tell your child to avoid rice at school until you know for sure they have removed it from their rice batches....This particular recall is for specific batch numbers of rice that is usually sold to other food establishments such as schools, hosptials, etc...(or to private consumers online), and has made several children and adults ill in Texas, Illinois, and North Dakota. If you have eaten the rice by mistake symptoms include: burning, itching, rashes, headaches and nausea for 30-90 minutes after eating the rice. (at least as of last thursday Feb.6th)....It appears to be caused by an overexposure to Niacin which can cause skin reactions, indigestion, and nausea....Organic rice without additives anyone? lol....*just playing. Just sharing the info. Eat healthy everyone :)
