About this product

Uncle Ben's Bistro Express Wholegrain Brown is a 250 g pouch of ready-to-heat whole grain brown parboiled rice cooked with canola and/or sunflower oil, sold in Canada with an English and French label.[1] Mars Canada, which ran the Canadian Uncle Ben's site, listed the same three ingredients on its 2016 product page and described the rice as free of artificial colours and preservatives, heated in the pouch in a microwave for 90 seconds or in a skillet.[2][3] A 90 g serving declares 130 Calories, 2 g of fat, 2 g of fibre and no sodium.[1] The discount grocer Épicerie à bas prix and Amazon.ca still list the Uncle Ben's pouch.[4][5]

The brand was renamed Ben's Original in 2020, and the renamed packs became widely available in Canada in 2021.[6][7] Mars Canada now sells the Ben's Original Bistro Express Wholegrain Brown Rice 250 g pouch, which carries UPC 058496459383.[8][9][10]

Coverage & research gaps (9)

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

  • Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
  • Context: 2 / 3 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
  • Label photographs: 0 / 2 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
  • Canadian bilingual Uncle Ben's pouch with portrait (front, ingredients and nutrition photos): nutrient evidence: 12 / 12 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • nutrition · unknown: The panel continues with vitamin A 0 %, vitamin C 0 % and further % Daily Value rows for calcium and iron; the photos crop the bottom rows, so the calcium and iron percentages cannot be matched to their rows exactly
  • packaging · unknown: The small front badge under "Perfect in 2 minutes" (a no-artificial-ingredients statement in English and French) is too small in the front photo to transcribe exactly
  • identity · unknown: No country-of-origin statement or company imprint is visible in the available photos; no back-panel photo exists
  • evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
