Don't Eat Uncle Ben's 'Infused' Rice! The Rice Is Hurting People!

5- and 25-pound bags of Uncle Ben's infused rice products sold through wholesale distributors by Mars Food Services have been voluntarily recalled. The parent company of Uncle Ben’s recalled the brand amid reports of people experiencing mild flushing and rashes after eating the Mexican flavor of Uncle Ben’s Infused Rice. According to Mars Food Services, “Out of an abundance of caution, we are removing all Foodservices Infused Rice products from the market.”
The company announced Sunday on the Uncle Ben’swebsite. Mars noted that Uncle Ben’s ready-to-heat, boxed, bagged or cupped rice available in supermarkets and retail outlets are not affected by the recall. “The products involved in this recall are sold through wholesale distribution channels,” Mars Foodservices said.
