USDA source ingredient 6931FNDDS 2021–2023
Sauce, pasta, spaghetti/marinara, ready-to-serve in USDA source formulations
USDA source ingredient 6931, “Sauce, pasta, spaghetti/marinara, ready-to-serve,” appears in 32 distinct survey-food records in Feast’s cited FNDDS corpus. This page shows exactly where it appears and how its listed input weight varies across those standardized formulations.
It is an ingredient-centered index, not a generic nutrition-facts page. The linked foods include Pizza, cheese and vegetables, gluten-free thick crust; Lasagna with chicken or turkey; Spaghetti sauce; Turnover or hot pocket, pizza pocket; Meatball sandwich or sub.

What the code means
One exact source label across 32 complete records.
Every occurrence collected here uses ingredient code 6931 and the source description “Sauce, pasta, spaghetti/marinara, ready-to-serve.” The code is preserved exactly as it appears in the FNDDS input-food rows. It is not a FoodData Central FDC ID, so this page does not invent a standalone ingredient-record URL.
The strongest concentrations of linked records are currently Pizza (18), Pasta mixed dishes, excludes macaroni and cheese (6), Pasta sauces, tomato-based (5). These are category counts within Feast’s selected 3,850-record corpus. They do not estimate how often the ingredient is eaten, how common it is in recipes generally, or its prevalence across every FNDDS release.
Why this page qualifies: 32 distinct USDA survey-food records meet the four-record evidence threshold.

Nutrient span across the linked foods
Every value in this table describes an entire USDA survey-food record per 100 grams. The values are not the nutrient content of ingredient code 6931, and differences cannot be attributed to this one input.
| Whole-record nutrient | Observed minimum | Median | Observed maximum | Linked records |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Caloriesper 100 g of the complete food | 46 kcal | 231 kcal | 321 kcal | 32 |
| Proteinper 100 g of the complete food | 1.4 g | 9.7 g | 19.2 g | 32 |
| Carbohydrateper 100 g of the complete food | 5.7 g | 22.3 g | 38.3 g | 32 |

| Sodiumper 100 g of the complete food | 279 mg | 484 mg | 934 mg | 32 |
The minimum and maximum preserve the complete observed span. The median is the middle linked-record value, not a prediction for a meal and not an ingredient-specific nutrient estimate.
Sole-source references
1 linked record uses only this listed input.
A sole-source formulation creates a particularly direct bridge between the source label and a complete survey-food profile. It still does not mean every real-world version shares the same preparation, brand, water content, or portion.

Method and provenance
How this ingredient-centered page was calculated
Feast begins with its pinned USDA FoodData Central Survey Foods corpus for FNDDS 2021–2023. Each exact food profile retains its FDC identifier, source-food description, nutrient values, household measures, and positive-weight input-food rows. This page groups those input rows by the exact ingredient code 6931; it does not merge similar-looking ingredient names or infer synonyms.
The distinct-record count deduplicates by FDC food record. When the same code is listed more than once inside one source formulation, its input weights are added before the listed-weight share is calculated. Category counts also count each food once. Percentiles use the resulting one-share-per-food values, sorted from lowest to highest.
The complete-food nutrient table uses each linked record’s published per-100-gram values so the denominator remains consistent. It is presented for record selection and comparison only. No nutrient value is reassigned to the ingredient, no causal effect is inferred, and no “healthy” score is manufactured from the collection.
How to apply the evidence to a meal
Use the ingredient as a discovery clue. Compare the linked record names, food categories, preparation wording, source formulation, and portion measures. If a close record exists, its complete profile can provide a defensible reference estimate. If the meal differs materially in cooking fat, sauce, ingredient ratios, or portion size, keep looking or use recipe weights, a package label, or an editable photo estimate instead.
These pages are educational source indexes. They do not provide medical advice, personalized nutrient targets, food-safety guidance, or a recipe. If a clinician has given you individualized dietary instructions, follow that guidance and use the most specific current source available for the food you actually consumed.
