About this product

Ben's Original Bistro Express Long Grain & Wild Rice Fine Herbs is a 250 g pouch of ready-to-heat long grain parboiled rice and wild rice in a seasoning of hydrolyzed plant protein, yeast extract, dried vegetables, spices and herbs, sold in Canada with an English and French label.[1][2] Mars Canada, named as manufacturer on the Amazon.ca listing of this barcode, describes it as a microwave side dish ready in 90 seconds in a BPA-free pouch, with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives; the pack itself says 2 minutes and is marked Made in Canada.[3][2][1] One pouch declares 400 Calories and 730 mg of sodium.[1]

The flavour was on Uncle Ben's Canadian site as Bistro Express Long Grain & Wild - Fine Herbs by 2011, and kept its place in the line after Mars renamed the brand Ben's Original in 2020.[4][5] The maker's January 2024 page gave this barcode as the product's SKU, and the page remains on Ben's Original Canada's current site under a new address.[6][3]

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 Ben's Original Bistro Express pouch (front, ingredients and Nutrition Facts photos): nutrient evidence: 15 / 15 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • nutrition · disputed: The typed Open Food Facts record gives 196 mg sodium and 156 kcal per 100 g (about 490 mg and 390 kcal per pouch), while every photographed panel prints 730 mg sodium and 400 Calories per 250 g pouch; the typed figures are internally inconsistent and are not used
  • ingredients · unknown: The photographed panel shows no "Contains" allergen statement, although the list names wheat, soy, milk ingredients and celery; the crop may exclude it
  • identity · unknown: The barcode of the pre-2020 Uncle Ben's Bistro Express Long Grain & Wild Fine Herbs pouch is not established
  • evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
