Consilia Riso basmati cotto, con olio extra vergine di oliva (2%)

The barcode 8000965419529 is associated with the product "Consilia Riso Basmati Cotto, con Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva (2%)" (Cooked Basmati Rice with 2% Extra Virgin Olive Oil), produced by Consilia (a brand under Barilla Group, an Italian food company).

Key Details:

1. Product Type:

   • Cooked Basmati rice (pre-cooked for convenience).
   • Contains 2% extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), which adds flavor and a slight richness.
   • Likely intended for quick meal preparation (e.g., as a side dish or base for salads, soups, or stir-fries).

2. Nutritional & Ingredient Highlights:

   • Main Ingredient: Basmati rice (likely long-grain, a common variety).
   • Added Oil: 2% EVOO (a small but notable addition, as olive oil is rich in healthy fats).
   • No artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors (typical for Barilla’s "Consilia" line, which often emphasizes natural ingredients).
   • Low sodium (unless seasoned separately), making it suitable for low-sodium diets.
   • Gluten-free (assuming no cross-contamination; rice is naturally gluten-free).

3. Potential Warnings/Concerns:

   • Allergens: Contains olive oil (derived from olives, which are tree nuts). While rare, severe nut allergies may require caution.
   • Sodium Content: If not seasoned with salt, it remains low-sodium, but added salt in cooking could increase intake.
   • Oil Content: The 2% EVOO adds ~120 kcal per 100g (assuming standard olive oil density). For those monitoring fat intake, this is a small but notable addition compared to plain rice.
   • Storage: Pre-cooked rice should be refrigerated after opening and consumed within a few days to prevent bacterial growth (e.g., Bacillus cereus, which can cause food poisoning if rice is left at room temperature too long).
