| ca-2015 | ingredients | unknown | No separate "Contains" allergen statement is visible in the photos; none is recorded and none is inferred from the ingredient list | ^pack |

| | markets | stale | Current availability unknown: the brand became Ben's Original in 2020 and the maker's Canadian site lists Fast & Fancy Chinese Style Fried Rice only as a 132 g pouch, without a barcode; whether it replaced this 165 g article under a new GTIN is unconfirmed | ^bens-ca |
| | relationships | unknown | No source names the GS1 registrant of prefix 0058496; the existing company/mars-canada stub does not list it in gs1_prefixes | |
