About this product
Uncle Ben's Converted Original is a 2 kg bag of long grain parboiled rice sold in Canada under the rice brand now called Ben's Original.[2][3] Its English and French label lists one ingredient, long grain parboiled rice, and gives nutrition per 30 g of dry rice, about 125 mL cooked, with a gluten-free claim on the front.[2] Mars Canada, known as Effem Inc. until 2007, markets the brand in Canada.[4] The Converted name goes back to Converted Rice, Inc., the company that sold parboiled rice made by the Huzenlaub process from 1942.[3] Open Food Facts tags the record as sold in France, but the Canadian label format and a Metro.ca listing under this UPC point to Canada.[2][5]
More about this product
The photographed pack, uploaded in 2018, still carries the Uncle Ben's name and portrait; Mars Food Canada said Ben's Original packs were widely available in Canadian stores by November 2021.[6] The 2006-2013 Barcodepedia page for this barcode, imported from upcdatabase.com, called it a "clear shotglass", which the label photos contradict.[7]

- Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
- Context: 1 / 2 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
- Label photographs: 0 / 1 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
- Canadian bilingual 2 kg bag with Uncle Ben's name and portrait: nutrient evidence: 11 / 11 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
- markets · stale: The photographed pack predates the 2020-2021 Ben's Original rebrand; Canadian retailers now list Ben's Original Converted in 2.2 kg bags, and whether this 2 kg UPC is still sold was not established
- nutrition · schema_gap: The panel also prints vitamin A 2 %, vitamin C 0 %, calcium 2 %, iron 2 %, thiamine 6 % and niacin 6 % Daily Value as percentages only; there is no field for % DV, thiamine or niacin
- relationships · unknown: The importer or distributor block beside the nutrition table (partly showing Bolton) is cut off in the photo; no printed company name could be read
- identity · unknown: No country-of-origin statement is visible in the available photos
- evidence · disputed: Open Food Facts countries_tags says France; the Canadian bilingual label and the Metro.ca listing point to Canada
