About this product
Uncle Ben's Converted Original is parboiled long grain rice in a 900 g cardboard box with an English and French Canadian label; its only ingredient is long grain parboiled rice, and the front promises it is ready in 20 minutes.[2][3] The archived Barcodepedia of 2008 already listed this UPC as a 900 g Uncle Ben's Converted rice.[4] Converted rice is another name for parboiled rice, made by soaking, steaming and drying the grain in the husk, a process that moves thiamine from the bran into the grain.[5] Uncle Ben's belongs to Mars, Incorporated, whose Canadian company Mars Canada, formerly Effem Inc., sells the brand from Bolton, Ontario.[6][7]
Where it's sold
🇨🇦 Canada
Metro[1] derived
- Listing observed
Metro's product URL is keyed on this UPC and titled "Converted Long grain rice" in search results, but the page answers a bot challenge (HTTP 403), so name, size and price are unread. Walmart.ca lists "Uncle Ben's Original Converted Rice, 900g" with no barcode, out of stock (^walmart); its "Ready in 10 minutes" bullet differs from this box's 20 minutes, so it may describe another article. The pack carries the bilingual Canadian "Nutrition Facts / Valeur nutritive" table.
A listing is evidence that this barcode is sold there, on that date; a price is what that listing showed, not a recommended price.

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.
- Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded

- Uncle Ben's Converted Original 900 g box, English/French Canadian label (photos 2018-09-20 and 2020-01-29): nutrient evidence: 11 / 11 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
- relationships · unknown: The "Imported by / Importé par" block under the ingredient list is cut off in the only photo of that side, so the importer, its address and any origin statement are unread; no imported_by, manufactured_by or country_of_origin is recorded.
- identity · unknown: Whether this UPC survived the 2020 rename is unsourced: Mars Canada says Ben's Original packs were widely on Canadian shelves by November 2021, and current Canadian retailers list a 907 g Ben's Original Converted box, but no source links that article's barcode to this one; status, last_seen and superseded_by are left blank.
- relationships · unknown: No source names the registrant of U.P.C. company prefix 0 58496; the gs1_prefix_owner row is derived, and the prefix is not added to any company stub.
- nutrition · schema_gap: Vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iron, thiamine and niacin are printed only as % Daily Value, and thiamine and niacin have no nutrient key; they are kept in the panel note.
