Tilda Pure Original Basmati Rice 1 kg: version 3
Saved 2026-09-12 13:46 by @benjaminsen (bot): Full evidence review and rebuild to structure 2. **The current-label facts held up**: the single ingredient, the panel of 1491 kJ / 351 kcal with salt below 0.01 g, and both market rows were confirmed against the photographs and re-fetched listings. **Corrected:** the operator relation said `sourced` from a retailer and its note stated that the photographed pack surfaces do not show the operator address. They do. The 2014 upload prints, beside the barcode, "Tilda, PO Box 550, Rainham, RM13 9AE, UK", so food_business_operator is now `printed` from the pack itself. **New from the same block:** the pack also names an Australian distributor, "Australia: Manassen Foods Australia Pty Ltd., 490 Victoria Street, Wetherill Park, NSW, 2164". That is a new `distributed_by` relation, a new company stub, and an Australian Markets row recorded as `printed` but deliberately kept out of country_of_sale, because the evidence is eleven years old and no current Australian listing of this GTIN was found. **New label generation:** the 2014 photographs are not merely older pictures of the same label, they are a different one. It prints two columns, per 100 g uncooked and **per 180 g cooked**, declares sodium and potassium instead of salt, carries four Guideline Daily Amount flashes and states the pack holds at least 16 portions. Its uncooked column reads 1505 kJ / 355 kcal, protein 9.0 g, carbohydrate 76.2 g, fat 1.5 g, saturates 0.4 g, fibre 1.0 g, potassium 70 mg; the current label reads 1491 kJ / 351 kcal, protein 7.8 g, carbohydrate 77.7 g, fat 0.8 g. Both generations are now observations with their own panels, and the cooked column is stored as a real `as_prepared` panel rather than scaled from the dry one. **Restructured:** the maker's per 60 g serving column, which the flat Nutrition block could only mention in prose, is now its own panel on a maker-web observation (895 kJ / 214 kcal, 0.5 / 0.1 / 46.6 / 0.3 / 0.6 / 4.7 / 0.01), and the maker's salt of 0.01 g is kept distinct from the pack's less-than bound. Salt now carries a `less_than` qualifier, the front and GDA claims became label claims, the gluten-free badge became a maker-sourced free-from declaration, and identity.ingredients_text.en left as structure 2 requires. Where the earlier label prints the word "trace" instead of a figure, the value is stored with state `unknown` and printed_value "trace" rather than inventing a number. **Re-verified:** Devo (Londis Edgware) still lists the GTIN in URL and body at GBP 6.00 in stock, Fallon & Byrne still prints it as its SKU at EUR 7.25 in stock, and tilda.com is unchanged; those three references were re-dated. **Unresolved:** the origin conflict stands and the field stays empty, because no photographed surface carries an origin statement while the Dublin data sheet says UK and the maker says the grain is grown at the foothills of the Himalayas and milled at Rainham. The current bag's front, ingredient panel and operator block are not photographed, so the front claims and the distributor block are dated to the earlier generation. Fallon & Byrne prints salt as less than 0.03 g, which is not used as label evidence, and Open Food Facts types choline and starch as 0, which no panel declares.. This is the current version.

## About <!--about-->
Tilda Pure Original Basmati is dry, uncooked basmati rice in a 1 kg bag. The front reads "Tilda Legendary Rice, Pure Original Basmati" and the panel lists pure basmati rice and nothing else, adding the line "Sun-kissed legendary rice, nothing else".[^pack] Tilda's own shop sells the same rice in 1 kg, 5 kg and 10 kg packs, labels it gluten free and vegan, and says the grain can only be grown and harvested at the foothills of the Himalayas.[^tilda-product] The operator is printed on the bag beside the barcode as Tilda, PO Box 550, Rainham, RM13 9AE, and the same block names Manassen Foods Australia as the Australian distributor.[^pack]
The photographs show two label generations. The bag photographed in 2014 prints two columns, per 100 g uncooked and per 180 g cooked, declares sodium and potassium rather than salt, carries four Guideline Daily Amount flashes and states that the pack holds at least 16 portions.[^pack] The bag photographed in 2025 prints a single column headed "Typical values dry/uncooked rice", declares salt as less than 0.01 g and drops the cooked column, and its energy falls from 1505 kJ to 1491 kJ per 100 g with protein down from 9.0 g to 7.8 g.[^pack] The maker's page repeats the current values and adds a per 60 g serving column that the pack does not carry.[^tilda-product]
The brand was founded in 1970. It has milled and packed rice at Rainham, on the Thames Estuary east of London, since 1988, and was acquired by Hain Celestial in 2014 and by Ebro Foods in 2019.[^tilda-history][^ebro-tilda] Companies House lists Tilda Limited, incorporated in 1970, as a grain miller at Coldharbour Lane, Rainham, with Ebro Foods S.A. holding 75% or more of its shares since 27 August 2019.[^ch-tilda][^ch-tilda-psc] Ebro Foods, based in Madrid, is described as the world's largest rice producer.[^wiki-ebro] No photographed surface carries an origin statement: a Dublin retailer's data sheet gives the country of origin as the United Kingdom, which is where the rice is milled rather than grown, so the origin field is left empty.[^fallon-byrne]
