Verified ReviewerI sent them pictures of the coupons and repliedAsk a question about where to send pictures of voided coupons
They sent me the wrong coupons. They are sending me new ones.
I do not like the Uncle Ben's street meals, and I got sick. I wanted just regular Uncle Ben's coupons, and they are sending them to me.

Preferred solution: Coupons on the way

Verified ReviewerUnsatisfied,
Got some Spanish rice and it looks like straight dog **** in the pouch. I am sick to my stomach and truly traumatized. Don't know what happened, but it was not even close to Spanish rice.
Preferred solution: Full refund
Taste was awful
- - Bought two products: fried rice and teriyaki with rice; price about $5 each.
- - The fried rice was spicy and mushy; second box discarded; not fried rice.
I bought 2 of your new products, street food which was fried rice and the second was teriyaki and rice. The fried rice was so spicy i couldnt get past the first bite, it was mushy and certainly wasnt fried rice.
I put the second box in the bin. Almost 5.oo for one package and it was absolutely disgusting..
User's recommendation: Buy it, but I certainly won’t
The cheesy rice was awful.
Liked the vegetable rice so I was happy to c a cheesy rice but it was awful would not buy it again do not waste ur money. That all I'm done w uncle bens
Disappointed!
- - The call started okay, but I was put on hold for over 45 minutes and never came back.
- - I cancelled my subscription because the issue wasn't fixed.
The call started out okay. The agent seemed willing to help but once the call became difficult, instead of sending the call to another agent, she put me on held for well over 45 counted minutes and never came back to the call.
I hung up and, no I haven't talked with anyone else. The situation hasn't been fixed, and I'm cancelling my subscription.
Very! Very disappointed!

Verified Reviewer |Product complaint
- - Bought 2-pack Bens Original Jasmine rice.
- - Microwaved 2 minutes; found tuna-like substance with dark streaks, a strange smell, not for consumption.
I bought 2 pack of Bens Original Jasmine rice and when I cooked it in microwave for 2 mins as advised I was totally shocked when I opened the packet to find what I can only describe as tuna looking substance with black through it and a weird smell. Not for consumption at all.
I was quite dissapppointed as I have never seen this before and buy this rice alot. I have photo evidence if you require this to back up my complaint.
regards
Andrea Bruce

Bought this SEALED bag of who knows what a few weeks ago at either Vons or Ralph's in Glendale California. Not sure if I still have the receipt.
I would like a full refund for the retail value of this horrendous package of God knows what. It smelled equally horrendous.
User's recommendation: Make sure bag is firm, not squishy...

Verified ReviewerPackage of rice contained some type of meat
They doubled down on claims that the package integrity was breeched. What I saw does not appear to ever have been rice.
They sent me coupons for two free bags of rice.
I wonder if I should ask for monetary compensation. I am insulted so far.
I cooked and opened my jasmine rice pack, and it contained what looked like a piece of meat. I have video and pics.
I am truly disgusted.
I use jasmine rice regularly. Help!
Live insects in Ben's Converted Rice - 2.2 kg bag
- - Found insects in rice stored in a glass jar; many insects visible.
- - Ben's Original offered no reimbursement for $11.47, and I will stop using it.
I had consumed some of this rice previously from this large bag. I always store it in a glass gallon jar and when I wanted to do a Stir Fry, I opened the jar and saw a tiny dark insect on the side of the jar.
Thinking it was a bit of stem or something, I put my finger over it and slid it up to the top, where it disappeared. I then poured some rice into a plate and found there were many insects running here and there. I quickly poured the rice into a doubled Ziploc bag together with the remaining rice, (17 oz) and put it in a cold place. I contacted Ben's Original and to my surprise, as I no longer had the bag, they were not interested in the insects.
They also were adamant there would be no reimbursement of my $11.47! Perhaps they already knew what kind of insects they were, as they were not interested in receiving a sample of my infected Converted Rice.
I found their attitude very puzzling and I'm out $11.47 and warn anyone who uses their rice to check it very carefully. After 70 yrs of using this product, I am off it FOREVER remembering how I cooked and ate part of this bag before the insects became so numerous and visible.
User's recommendation: Pour Ben's Converted Rice onto a plate and look carefully for tiny dark insects.
Packaging country source identification
- - -No country of origin on the label; it seems local and is gummy and tasteless.
- - -With GB, UK and CANADA sources, it cooks up nicely and tastes great.
Assuming no country source on label (Ready Rice) is "local" meaning USA) which produces a quality same as Thailand, gummy and tasteless, I will not be purchasing. Packaged with sources GB, UK and CANADA cook up nicely and taste great.

Disappointed that I bought your Ben's rice, before it was 250 grams now 220, when I am shopping in supermarkets people are constantly commenting how you all are giving us less.people would rather you charge more than shrinking weights, it's like you think we the public are stupid.
