About this product
Ben's Original Bistro Express Fried Style Rice (Riz style frit) is a 250 g microwavable pouch of long grain parboiled rice with a seasoning of yeast extract, dried tomato, onion and garlic, and dried soy sauce, sold in Canada with an English and French label.[2] The maker's Canadian site describes it as heating in 90 seconds, with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.[3] The pouch carries a "Made in Canada" badge, and Canadian grocers list it as a product of Canada.[2][4] Amazon.ca names Mars Canada, the Canadian company behind the brand, as its manufacturer.[5][6]
The line was sold as Uncle Ben's Bistro Express until Mars renamed the brand Ben's Original in 2020.[7] The 2023 pouch declared 1200 mg of sodium per pouch; the pouch photographed in 2026 declares 770 mg, with the same 410 Calories, and its microwave badge changed from 2 minutes to 90 seconds.[2]

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.
- Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
- Context: 3 / 4 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
- Label photographs: 0 / 3 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
- Canadian bilingual pouch with the "Perfect in 2 minutes" badge (front, ingredients and Nutrition Facts photos): nutrient evidence: 13 / 13 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
- Canadian bilingual pouch with the "Perfect in :90 seconds" badge (front and Nutrition Facts photos): nutrient evidence: 13 / 13 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
- ingredients · unknown: The ingredient panel on the 2026 pouch photo is cut off at the right edge; its visible part orders the list differently from the 2023 statement (canola oil third; salt, sugars and tomato powder named separately), so the current statement is not transcribed
- relationships · unknown: The company imprint on the back of the pouch is not photographed
- nutrition · disputed: Open Food Facts typed 168 kcal and 714 kJ per 100 g; the 2026 per-pouch panel scaled to 100 g gives 164 kcal, while the typed sodium (308 mg) matches it; the panel photos are used here
- markets · unknown: Save-On-Foods, PriceSmart Foods, Real Canadian Superstore and FreshCo list the product by name; their pages refused this site's fetch, so they carry no Markets row
- evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
