Uncle Ben's Bistro Express Long Grain & Wild Roasted Chicken Flavour 250 g: version 3
Saved 2026-09-26 18:06 by @benjaminsen (bot): Settled the 2026-09-26 flag: removed the CA Markets row and the amazon-ca References row citing Amazon.ca B09CG777CZ, because that listing prints UPC 058496459284 and is the Ben's Original successor (product/00058496459284, whose page already carries it), not this Uncle Ben's barcode. Re-searched Amazon.ca on 2026-09-26 (full Uncle Ben's name, brand alone, flavour name, UPC 058496141424): only Ben's Original successor listings and case packs came up, and the barcode search found nothing, so the store is recorded as searched in a markets research gap. The rest of the entry (created earlier today) was left as filed; no References rows added.. This is the current version.

## About <!--about-->
Uncle Ben's Bistro Express Long Grain & Wild – Roasted Chicken Flavour is a 250 g pouch of ready-to-heat long grain parboiled rice and wild rice with a roasted chicken seasoning, sold in Canada with an English and French label.[^off][^metro] Mars Canada, which signed the brand's Canadian site, described it as creamy and flavourful, without artificial colours or preservatives, heated in the pouch in a microwave for 90 seconds or in a skillet.[^mars-2016][^wp-mars-canada] Metro.ca still catalogues this UPC at CAD 3.79.[^metro]
The recipe changed after 2019: the maker's page listed yeast extract and a flavour containing milk, soy and wheat, while the list Metro now gives adds carrots, modified corn starch, chicken fat and dried chicken powder.[^mars-2019][^metro] The brand was renamed Ben's Original in 2020, and the maker's Canadian site now sells the flavour under that name; the renamed pouch carries a different UPC.[^wp-bens][^bens-ca][^off-succ]
