Ben's Original Mediterranean Express Rice

Ben's Original, formerly known as Uncle Ben's, is a world-renowned brand of parboiled rice and other related food products. The brand was first introduced in 1943 by Converted Rice Inc., which was later acquired by Mars, Inc. The brand underwent a significant global rebranding in 2020 to become Ben's Original, aiming to move away from racial stereotypes associated with its previous imagery.

Today, Ben's Original is owned by Mars, Incorporated, a massive multinational American corporation. While the brand has deep American roots, its products are manufactured in various locations globally to serve different markets. For the European market, many products are processed and packaged in facilities located in countries like the United Kingdom or the Netherlands, though specific sourcing can vary by region.
