About this product
Ben's Original Bistro Express Tomato & Herb Flavour is a 250 g microwavable pouch of ready-to-heat long grain parboiled rice with crushed tomatoes and a seasoning of dried red peppers, herbs and spices, sold in Canada with an English and French label that carries a "Made in Canada" badge.[2][3] The maker describes it as heating in 90 seconds in the microwave or in a skillet, in a BPA-free pouch, with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.[4] The pouch gives 420 Calories and 760 mg of sodium per 250 g.[2] Amazon.ca names Mars Canada, of Bolton, Ontario, as the manufacturer.[5][6]
It is the Ben's Original successor of the Uncle Ben's Bistro Express Tomato & Herb pouch, after Mars renamed the Uncle Ben's brand in 2020.[7] Super C listed it at 2.97 CAD in April 2025.[3]
