Ben's Original Mexican Style Rice

Ben's Original, formerly known as Uncle Ben's, is a globally recognized brand of parboiled rice and other related food products. This particular variant, Mexican Style Rice, is a microwaveable pouch designed for convenience, typically heating in 90 seconds.

In the Australian market, Ben's Original products are primarily manufactured locally at Mars Food Australia's production facility located in Wyong, New South Wales. This facility handles the processing and packaging of various rice products sold throughout the region.

The brand is owned by Mars, Incorporated, an American multinational manufacturer of confectionery, pet food, and other food products. Following a major rebranding initiative in 2020 to promote inclusion and equity, the brand transitioned from Uncle Ben's to Ben's Original. Mars remains a private family-owned business headquartered in McLean, Virginia, United States.
