Ben's Original Sweet & Sour Sauce

Ben's Original, formerly known as Uncle Ben's, is a globally recognized brand specializing in rice and associated cooking sauces. The brand was first introduced in the United States in the 1940s by Converted Rice Inc., which later became part of Mars, Inc. The Sweet & Sour sauce variant is a staple of their international cuisine line, designed to provide a convenient way to prepare Asian-inspired meals at home.

While the brand originated in the USA, modern production is distributed across several global facilities to serve different markets. Products sold in Europe are frequently manufactured in the Netherlands at Mars' dedicated food production plants, though supply chains may draw from multiple locations depending on the specific region. Since its inception, the brand has remained under the ownership of Mars, Incorporated, a family-owned multinational corporation based in the United States, famously known for its confectionery, pet care, and food products.
