In an effort to address questions about restrictions on the purchase of bulk quantities of rice at Sam’s Club, we want to reiterate that our goal is to have an adequate supply of product. These limits are designed to prevent large distributors or wholesalers from depleting our stock. We believe limiting rice purchases to four bags per visit is consistent with the needs of the majority of our Members, including many restaurants. We will continue to work with our suppliers to manage inventories to meet demand.
