About this product

Uncle Ben's Bistro Express Vegetable Medley is a 250 g pouch of ready-to-heat seasoned long grain parboiled rice with carrots, peas and corn, sold in Canada with an English and French label.[2] The 2020 label gives 140 Calories, 2 g fat and 290 mg sodium per 125 mL (90 g) serving, and its seasoning includes modified milk ingredients and a soy sauce powder made with soybean and wheat.[2] The maker's Canadian site listed the flavour in 2013 as "Vegetable Medley with Peas, Carrots and Corn", with a shorter list using onion and garlic powder and caramel colour, heated in its pouch in the microwave or in a skillet.[3] The Canadian brand company is Mars Canada.[4]

Mars renamed the Uncle Ben's brand Ben's Original in 2020.[5] The maker's Ben's Original Bistro Express Vegetable Medley Rice 250 g pouch carries UPC 058496459420, the barcode Amazon.ca sells it under.[6][7] Save-On-Foods still keeps a product page under this barcode.[8]

Coverage & research gaps (14)

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 (ingredients and Nutrition Facts photos, 2020): nutrient evidence: 14 / 14 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • ingredients · disputed: A French ingredient list photographed with the 2018 front (vegetables grouped, flavour with wheat, soy and milk, sea salt, magnesium sulphate and chloride, garlic) matches neither the maker's 2013 list nor the 2020 photo; the photo does not show which product it belongs to
  • nutrition · unknown: The 2018 front-of-pack summary is too small in the 874×1200 photo to read beyond 130 Calories and 1.5 g fat
  • identity · unknown: No country-of-origin statement is visible in the available photos
  • relationships · unknown: The company imprint on the back is not photographed
  • markets · unknown: Amazon.ca searched on 2026-09-26 for "uncle ben's bistro express vegetable medley", "ben's original bistro express vegetable medley", "ben's original" and the UPC 058496223113: only the Ben's Original successor pouch (B09CG44ZK7, UPC 058496459420, CAD 2.98) and multipacks of it are listed, not this UPC
  • markets · unknown: Open Food Facts tags France as a country of sale; no French retailer or French market mark supports it, so FR is not listed
  • evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
