About this product
Uncle Ben's Bistro Express Creamy Cheddar Cheese Flavour is a 240 g pouch of ready-to-heat long grain parboiled rice and wheat vermicelli in a seasoning of dehydrated cheddar, parmesan, romano and blue cheese, sold in Canada with an English and French label.[2][3] Mars Canada Inc., named as its manufacturer on Amazon.ca, described it on its unclebens.ca site as creamy and flavourful with no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives, heated in the pouch in a microwave or in a skillet.[4][3][5] The photographed recipe lists partially hydrogenated soybean oil, and the panel declares 0.2 g of trans fat per 90 g serving.[2]
The brand was renamed Ben's Original in 2020; the maker now sells a Ben's Original Bistro Express Creamy Cheddar Cheese Flavour 240 g pouch, which carries a different UPC.[6][7][8]
