About this product
Ben's Original Bistro Express Whole Grain Brown Rice is a 250 g pouch of ready-to-heat whole grain parboiled brown rice cooked with canola oil, 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 with a chewy texture and nutty aroma, ready in 90 seconds in a BPA-free pouch or heated in a skillet, 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 370 Calories, 6 g of fat and 5 mg of sodium.[1]
The pouch took over from the Uncle Ben's Bistro Express Wholegrain Brown pouch after Mars renamed the brand Ben's Original in 2020.[4] 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.[5][3]

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 144 kcal per 100 g (360 kcal per pouch), while the photographed panel prints 370 Calories per 250 g pouch; the other typed figures match the panel scaled to 100 g. The panel figure is used
- identity · disputed: The "Buy now" button on the maker's current page carries the code 10058496459373, which is not this barcode or a case code of it; the archived January 2024 capture of the same page gives SKU 058496459383
