About this product
Uncle Ben's Bistro Express Jasmine Rice is a 240 g pouch of ready-to-heat jasmine rice, prepared with water, canola and/or sunflower oil, soy lecithin, flavour and acetylated mono- and diglycerides, sold in Canada with an English and French label.[2] A 125 mL (90 g) serving gives 160 Calories, and the front carries a "Perfect in 2 minutes" badge with a no-artificial-flavours, colours and preservatives statement.[2] The maker's Canadian site listed it among its Bistro Express pouches in 2016 and 2019 with the same ingredients, heated for 90 seconds in the microwave or in a skillet.[3][4] The Canadian brand company is Mars Canada.[5]
Mars renamed the Uncle Ben's brand Ben's Original in 2020.[6] The maker now sells a Ben's Original Bistro Express Jasmine Rice pouch of the same size, described as 100 % authentic Thai rice, under another UPC.[7][8]
Where it's sold
- Amazon.ca [8] Canada new Amazon.ca listing of the Ben's Original Bistro Express Jasmine Rice 240 g pouch at CAD 2.98; the listing may be the successor: it prints UPC 058496459482, the Ben's Original pack, not this Uncle Ben's barcode
- Bilingual English/French front ("JASMINE RICE / RIZ AU JASMIN") with ®/MD and TM/MC marks and a Canadian front-of-pack panel with Percent Daily Value / Pourcentage de la valeur quotidienne; read from the Open Food Facts photos[1] Canada
A listing is evidence that this barcode is sold there, on that date; a price is what that listing showed, not a recommended price. Store links may be affiliate links (how this works).
