Frequently Asked Questions

How does Lundberg assure the quality of their rice?
Lundberg Family Farms is proud of their strong grower network. They regularly review their carefully selected growers, handlers and processors to ensure food safety regulations and agricultural standards are consistently met. Their strict quality requirements, which range from kernel moisture to prepared rice appearance/flavor/texture are routinely monitored from harvest through final processing and packaging. Their organic growers and rice are certified to the USDA Organic standards. All Eco-Farmed rice meets their Eco-Farmed criteria.  In addition, they verify that all of their rice is not genetically engineered, through their participation in the Non-GMO Project.

Why is Lundberg so concerned with its impact on the environment?
Having moved west after losing their topsoil to the devastating winds of the Dust Bowl, the Lundberg family has a special understanding of the importance of preserving natural resources, and of building and maintaining soil fertility. Since 1937, the Lundberg family has been growing rice while preserving the local ecology and fertile soils of Northern California’s Sacramento Valley. In an era of declining natural resources and more people to feed, we all must take responsibility for decreasing our environmental impacts.

Are all of Lundberg's products Certified Organic?
Lundberg is committed to farming methods that build soil fertility, protect wildlife habitat, and produce an outstanding rice product. While 70% of Lundberg’s products are Certified Organic, the company also offers Eco-Farmed products, which are farmed using a less toxic conventional approach that allows them to offer more budget-friendly products.

What does Eco-Farmed mean?
Eco-Farmed products utilize a combination of conventional and organic farming techniques that takes a preventive approach rather than a prescriptive one. Their strict protocol allows for a blend of organic and conventional inputs but disallows any highly toxic chemicals, rice straw burning, or continuous cropping (without resting the fields periodically). They created this system to preserve higher yields, deal with pest outbreaks, and to continue to create products for budget-conscious consumers who still demand high quality, more natural rice foods.

Is Lundberg's facility gluten-free?
Yes. All of the products produced within their facilities are gluten-free which prevent their facilities from being exposed to gluten.
