About this product
Uncle Ben's Basmati is dry basmati rice in a 1 kg box with a 10-minute cooking time, labelled in Swedish, Finnish, Danish and Norwegian and photographed for Open Food Facts in 2020.[3] Uncle Ben's is the rice brand of Mars, Incorporated, which on 23 September 2020 announced that it would rename it Ben's Original and remove the portrait of a man in a bow tie shown on this pack.[4][5] The barcode carries a Belgian GS1 prefix; Mars Belgium runs the Uncle Ben's rice factory in Olen, the brand's dry-rice research hub, and said in 2017 that its basmati came from farmers working toward the Sustainable Rice Platform standard.[6][7] The renamed Swedish box lists basmati rice as its only ingredient and says the rice is grown in India at the foot of the Himalayas.[8]
Where it's sold
🇸🇪 Sweden
Coop[1] derived
- Listing observed
Coop Sweden's product URL is keyed on this EAN (basmatiris-5410673709844), but the page renders by JavaScript and neither the server nor a browser fetch showed its name, size or price. ICA lists a Ben's Original Basmatiris 1 kg with no barcode (^ica), which may be the renamed successor.
🇫🇮 Finland
Uncle Ben's basmatiriisi 1kg (Foodie.fi, now S-kaupat)[2] derived
- Listing observed
Foodie.fi (S Group) URL is keyed on this EAN and titled "Uncle Ben's basmatiriisi 1kg" in search results; the page, now on s-kaupat.fi, answered HTTP 429 to fetches, so price and availability are unread.
A listing is evidence that this barcode is sold there, on that date; a price is what that listing showed, not a recommended price.

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.

- Uncle Ben's box with Swedish, Finnish, Danish and Norwegian text (photos uploaded 2020-09-18): nutrient evidence: 18 / 18 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
- Ben's Original Basmatiris 1 kg, Swedish maker page and ICA listing: nutrient evidence: 9 / 9 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
- ingredients · unknown: The 2020 box's ingredient list is not among the Open Food Facts photos; the only statement found (basmatiris) is from the renamed Ben's Original box.
- identity · unknown: Whether the Ben's Original 1 kg basmati box kept this GTIN after the 2020 rename: no listing seen prints the barcode beside the new name, so status and last_seen are left blank.
- relationships · unknown: Manufacturer, importer and registrant of GS1 prefix 5410673 are not sourced; no back-label photo exists. Country of origin not printed in any photo read.
- markets · not_researched: Danish and Norwegian listings were not found; the pack carries Danish and Norwegian text, which alone is not market evidence.
