Ben’s Rice, best known for their instant rice, is recalling a bunch of their product. And guess what? It’s finally a recall that doesn’t involve radioactive food!! This time, it’s because there are rocks in some boxes.
So far in the past 2 months there have been radioactive shrimp, corn dogs with chunks of wood in them that aren’t the sticks, and now rocks. What’s next, protein powders full of lead? Oh, wait.
Anyhoo, the FDA suggest that you don’t eat the rocks……… because, we all someone who would. Fun fact, Dolly Parton has said her family was so poor when she was a kid that they ate Stone Soup. People would throw put vegetables and a little meat in water with some rocks. They believed the minerals in the rocks added flavor. THIS LINK is to Dolly Parton’s ACTUAL recipe for stone soup. No joke. A Taste Of Home posted it after Dolly shared it.
