Ben's Original Bistro Express Jambalaya Style 240 g: version 1
Saved 2026-09-26 17:56 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added Ben's Original Bistro Express Jambalaya Style 240 g (UPC 058496459185), the Ben's Original successor of product/00058496436261, completing a variant row of family/ben-s-original-bistro-express. Identity confirmed three ways: the Open Food Facts front photo (Jambalaya Style, 240 g, Made in Canada), the Amazon.ca listing B09CFRDWSQ which prints UPC 058496459185 / GTIN 00058496459185, and the Ben's Original Canada product page for the 240 g pouch. Nutrition transcribed from the OFF nutrition photo (per 1 pouch 240 g; OFF had typed these per-pouch figures as per-100 g). Ingredients, manufacturer (Mars Canada Inc., Bolton ON), country of origin and CAD 3.99 price from Amazon.ca, consistent with the ingredient-line fragments visible on the OFF photo. gs1_prefix_owner derived to company/mars-canada per its inferred prefix 0058496. Gaps: printed ingredient list and back of pack not photographed; OFF tags Martinique with no supporting listing, so MQ was not added to country_of_sale.. Current is v2.
