Chinese Style Rice

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Ben's Original Chinese Style Rice scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. Per serving it carries 3g fiber, 4g protein and 2g sugar. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Ben's Original Chinese Style Rice lists 15 ingredients, starting with Steamed Parboiled Long Grain Rice, Sunflower Oil, Onion Powder, Toasted Sesame Oil and Red Pepper. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

178 kcal per serving, or 162 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Ben's Original Chinese Style Rice on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 Ben's Original Chinese Style Rice scores worse than most rice & grains we have scored. A higher-scoring option in rice & grains is Simple Truth Organic Long Grain White Rice at 100/100.
