About this product

Ben's Original Bistro Express Basmati Rice is a 453 g family-size pouch of ready-to-heat basmati rice made with only water, basmati rice and sunflower oil, sold in Canada under a bilingual English and French label.[2] The BPA-free microwavable pouch is marked "Perfect in 2 minutes" and "Family Size / Format Familial", and the maker describes the line's long-grain rice as having a fine texture and a deliciously subtle, nutty flavour with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.[3] The Nutrition Facts table, per 1 cup (140 g), declares 200 Calories, 2 g of fat, 41 g of carbohydrate, 2 g of fibre and 5 g of protein.[2] Ben's Original, renamed from Uncle Ben's by Mars in 2020, is owned in Canada by Mars Canada.[4][5]

Mars renamed the Uncle Ben's brand Ben's Original on 23 September 2020, keeping the "Bistro Express" name the ready-to-heat pouch line already used.[4] The maker's current Canadian range shows a 490 g family-size Basmati Rice pouch alongside a 250 g pouch.[3]

Coverage & research gaps (8)

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

  • Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
  • Context: 1 / 2 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
  • Label photographs: 0 / 1 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
  • Canadian bilingual Ben's Original pouch (front, ingredients, nutrition photos): nutrient evidence: 14 / 14 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • markets · unknown: Amazon.ca searched 2026-09-26 for "Ben's Original Bistro Express Basmati Rice 453g", the brand alone and the UPC 058496458843; candidate B09CGHF266 titled "BEN'S ORIGINAL BISTRO EXPRESS Basmati Rice Family Size, 453g Pouch (Pack of 1)" matches by title, but its page returned a bot check so its UPC and price could not be read
  • identity · unknown: No country-of-origin statement is legible in the available Open Food Facts photos
  • relationships · unknown: The pack photos do not show a maker imprint or address
  • markets · stale: The maker's current Canadian site lists a 490 g family-size Basmati Rice pouch and a 250 g pouch; whether the 453 g family-size format is still produced or only remains in retail stock is open, as no dated maker range page was located
  • evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
  • schema · schema_gap: Review and assign legacy facts to coherent observations.
  • ingredients · not_researched: Ingredient statement or sourced exemption not recorded.
  • nutrition · not_researched: Nutrition declaration or exemption not recorded.
