What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 3 named USDA records in view: 3 direct matches. All sit within “Pasta mixed dishes, excludes macaroni and cheese.” 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 two description segments” placed these 3 records together under the exact grouping key “tortellini meat filled.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Tortellini, meat-filled, this page can compare 3 named records from FDC 2708790 through FDC 2708786. 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

190–233 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.2× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

101 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “canned”; the higher is “no sauce.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

9.1 g protein gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “canned” (3.2 g) and “no sauce” (12.3 g).

Observed source examples

Three landmarks inside this source set—not universal endpoints

The cards are ordered by calories in each record's listed serving. Serving weights differ, so use per-100-gram values to compare composition. These selected records do not define a calorie range for every tortellini, meat-filled.

Important: “Lower” begins with Tortellini, meat-filled, with tomato sauce, canned; “higher” ends with Tortellini, meat-filled, no sauce, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every tortellini, meat-filled meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Tortellini, meat-filled, 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

The listed source amounts run from 190 to 233 grams—a 43-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 207 calories for “canned” to 361 for “no sauce.” At a fixed 100 grams, “canned” is 89 calories and “no sauce” is 190—a fixed-weight separation of 101 calories. For Tortellini, meat-filled, 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 “meat-filled, no sauce”, “meat-filled, with tomato sauce”, and “meat-filled, with tomato sauce, canned”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes cheese, parmesan, grated, mortadella, beef, pork, and salt, table; differentiating rows include beverages, water, tap, municipal, chicken, ns as to part, rotisserie, skin not eaten, egg, whole, cooked, hard-boiled, and margarine, regular, 80% fat, composite, stick, with salt. On this Tortellini, meat-filled 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 “Tortellini, meat-filled” cannot resolve the differences between Tortellini, meat-filled, no sauce and Tortellini, meat-filled, with tomato sauce, canned. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    Source weight before serving calories

    The source amounts span 190–233 grams. Compare per 100 grams before reading a serving-calorie gap as a composition gap.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “meat-filled, no sauce”, “meat-filled, with tomato sauce”, and “meat-filled, with tomato sauce, canned”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include cheese, parmesan, grated and mortadella, beef, pork; rows that vary across the set include beverages, water, tap, municipal, chicken, ns as to part, rotisserie, skin not eaten, and egg, whole, cooked, hard-boiled. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Tortellini, meat-filled, no sauce” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Tortellini, meat-filled 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 tortellini, meat-filled is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“meat-filled, no sauce”, “meat-filled, with tomato sauce”, and “meat-filled, with tomato sauce, canned”—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 Tortellini, meat-filled 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.
