Is Ben’s Original legit?

Legit

The rice brand shoppers knew as Uncle Ben's is now Ben's Original, every bit as genuine, but a pouch occasionally holds something that should not be there. Ready Rice batches have been recalled over small stones from the farm, which is why the lot code on your pack matters.

What we checked

  • Rice brand of Mars, Incorporated
  • Rice brand since the 1940s
  • US plant in Greenville, Mississippi

Watch out for

  • A Ready Rice pouch with a stone or husk inside, where the lot code and best-by date decide what happens next.
  • A pouch that split in the box or in the microwave, with only the receipt and a photo to show for it.
  • Rice that stays hard or turns to mush even though you followed the cooking time printed on the pack.

Found something odd in your Ben's Original rice?

We help you write it, it gets its own public page, and you can have it sent to Ben’s Original as a formal letter.

Have the pack in front of you: consumer care usually asks for the product name and size, the lot code and the best-by date printed on the pack, and where and when you bought it. Keep the product until the matter is settled.

Pouch or pack not as it should be? Start your complaint here too, and we push it out to Mars by email, social media and printed letters.

What should I do if something is wrong with my Ben's Original rice?

If a pack of Ben's Original rice contains something that should not be there, such as a stone, a piece of plastic or insects, or the rice smells or tastes wrong, stop eating it and keep the pack with what is left in it. Photograph the rice, the pack, the lot code and the best-by date, and keep the receipt or the online order confirmation.

If anyone feels unwell after eating it, get medical advice and note the symptoms and the time. Then tell Ben's Original consumer care on 1-800-548-6253 or through the contact form on the brand's website, quoting the codes and the store, and ask for a reference number.

Can I get a refund for a faulty Ben's Original product?

Is Ben's Original the same as Uncle Ben's?

Yes: Ben's Original is the new name of Uncle Ben's. Mars, Incorporated, which owns the brand, changed the name in 2020, and the brand's history page says it did so recognizing the inequities associated with the former name and face of the brand. The brand goes back to the 1940s, when Mars brought a parboiling process to the US and made Uncle Ben's Converted rice in Houston, and Mars still makes the range today. Questions or complaints about any Ben's Original product go to consumer care on 1-800-548-6253.
