About this product
Ben's Original Bistro Express Long Grain & Wild Rice Roasted Chicken Flavour is a 250 g microwavable pouch of ready-to-heat long grain parboiled rice and wild rice with a seasoning of dried carrots, onion, garlic, herb, chicken fat and chicken powder, sold in Canada with an English and French label.[2][3] Amazon.ca names Mars Canada Inc. of Bolton, Ontario, as its manufacturer, and the pack carries a "Made in Canada" roundel.[4][2] The maker describes it as ready in 90 seconds in the microwave or heated in a skillet, in a BPA-free pouch with no artificial colours or flavours.[5] One pouch declares 410 Calories and 760 mg of sodium, and the label warns that it may contain wheat.[2]
Mars renamed the Uncle Ben's brand Ben's Original in 2020, and this pouch replaced the Uncle Ben's Bistro Express Long Grain & Wild Roasted Chicken pack of the same size.[6][5]
