Compare all 2 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 2 exact records in this guide report 163–173 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 111–118 calories per 100 grams. Those are observations from named database records—not a universal range or an estimate of an unseen plate.

Match my meal

What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 2 named USDA records in view: 2 direct matches. All sit within “Rice mixed dishes.” The exact descriptions remain the unit of comparison; the familiar heading is only the doorway into the evidence.

Why these records appear together: The deterministic grouping rule “normalized first description segment” placed these 2 records together under the exact grouping key “flavored rice and pasta mixture.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Flavored rice and pasta mixture, this page can compare 2 named records from FDC 2709082 through FDC 2709083. It cannot observe which preparation was eaten, recover unnamed additions, or supply the eaten grams.

Editor’s decision brief

The three facts to carry into the table

Carry the denominator, exact identity, and strongest observed contrast into every number below.

Portion

A shared 147 g comparison anchor

Equal source weights make the selected Flavored rice and pasta mixture serving totals easier to compare, but the eaten portion still has to be measured or estimated.

Composition

7 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “reduced sodium”; the higher is “Flavored rice and pasta mixture.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

98 mg sodium gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “reduced sodium” (157 mg) and “Flavored rice and pasta mixture” (255 mg).

Observed source examples

Both records, with their own serving weights intact

These 2 records each use a 147 g serving. Their serving calories compare equal weights within this set. They do not define a calorie range for every flavored rice and pasta mixture; match the preparation and adjust to your portion.

Important: “Lower” begins with Flavored rice and pasta mixture, reduced sodium; “higher” ends with Flavored rice and pasta mixture, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every flavored rice and pasta mixture meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Flavored rice and pasta mixture, serving columns preserve each record’s own listed amount, while calories per 100 g hold weight constant. A dash means the cited record does not supply that field; it does not mean the nutrient is absent.

On smaller screens, focus the table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

Every selected record uses a 147-gram source amount, so serving-weight differences do not explain the calorie spread inside this set. Their own source servings run from 163 calories for “reduced sodium” to 173 for “Flavored rice and pasta mixture.” At a fixed 100 grams, “reduced sodium” is 111 calories and “Flavored rice and pasta mixture” is 118—a fixed-weight separation of 7 calories. For Flavored rice and pasta mixture, the serving view answers “how much is in the database portion?”; the 100-gram view answers “how concentrated is the matched record?” Neither reveals how many grams were actually eaten.

The scaling rule: multiply a per-100-gram value by eaten grams ÷ 100. The arithmetic is exact; the result is only as defensible as the record match and portion estimate.

Preparation analysis

The long description carries the evidence

The published descriptions distinguish forms such as “Flavored rice and pasta mixture” and “reduced sodium”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes margarine, stick; differentiating rows include beverages, water, tap, drinking, beverages, water, tap, municipal, butter, stick, salted, and milk, dry, nonfat, regular, without added vitamin a and vitamin d. On this Flavored rice and pasta mixture page, those rows make the records inspectable, but they are not a controlled experiment: they cannot tell us that one named input, by itself, caused a nutrient difference.

Database precision is not meal certainty. Retain the exact description beside the number so later corrections remain possible.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Flavored rice and pasta mixture” cannot resolve the differences between Flavored rice and pasta mixture and Flavored rice and pasta mixture, reduced sodium. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    A shared source weight

    Every selected record uses 147 grams. Inside this set, serving-calorie differences therefore reflect the published composition rather than a change in source weight.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “Flavored rice and pasta mixture” and “reduced sodium”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include margarine, stick; rows that vary across the set include beverages, water, tap, drinking, beverages, water, tap, municipal, and butter, stick, salted. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Flavored rice and pasta mixture” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Flavored rice and pasta mixture unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

Match identity first; scale quantity second

Read the source name as a sequence of decisions. First confirm that flavored rice and pasta mixture is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“Flavored rice and pasta mixture” and “reduced sodium”—before comparing gram weight. If a package, menu, or known recipe provides a closer first-party description, prefer it and keep this USDA record as a transparent fallback.

A practical matching checklist

  1. Read the complete Flavored rice and pasta mixture source description, including preparation and additions.
  2. Compare the listed source weight with the amount actually eaten.
  3. Prefer a current package or restaurant source when a specific branded item is known.
  4. Record toppings, sauces, cooking fat, sides, and substitutions that the selected description does not name.
