About this product

Uncle Ben's Bistro Express Oriental Style (À l'orientale) is a 250 g pouch of ready-to-heat long grain parboiled rice seasoned with hydrolyzed plant protein, yeast extract and dehydrated tomato, onion and garlic, sold in Canada with an English and French label.[2][3] Mars Canada, named as its manufacturer on Amazon.ca, described it on its 2016 site as creamy and free of artificial colours and preservatives, heated in the pouch in a microwave for 90 seconds or in a skillet with two tablespoons of water.[3][4] A serving of 125 mL (90 g) declares 150 Calories and 740 mg of sodium.[2]

The brand was renamed Ben's Original in 2020.[5] Amazon.ca, which prints this UPC, showed the pouch as unavailable in September 2026, while the grocer Voilà still listed the Uncle Ben's pack at $3.99 with a longer ingredient list that includes beef fat and soy sauce powder.[4][6]

Coverage & research gaps (12)

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.

  • Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
  • Context: 3 / 4 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
  • Label photographs: 0 / 3 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
  • Canadian bilingual Uncle Ben's pouch with portrait (front and nutrition photos): nutrient evidence: 12 / 12 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • ingredients · disputed: The Voilà listing's ingredient list (with beef fat, soy sauce powder and torula yeast) differs from the maker's 2016 statement; neither is dated to a pack revision, and no photo of the printed ingredient list exists for this UPC
  • nutrition · unknown: The back photo cuts off the % Daily Value column and the vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and iron percentages
  • identity · unknown: No country-of-origin statement is visible in the available photos
  • markets · stale: The Ben's Original Canadian site lists Bistro Express flavours without an Oriental Style variant; whether Mars Canada still makes this article is unresolved, while Voilà listed it in stock on 2026-09-26
