THE RECORD

identity

This is the existing pasta-and-tomato-sauce family; historical descriptions mention different portion contexts and, in one review, penne. The later menu does not confirm the same pasta shape or recipe. [1]

THE RECORD

history

East Palo Alto offered children’s pasta with red sauce in a January 2004 review. An October 2008 Emeryville review separately mentioned penne with marinara and child-scaled pasta plates. The child list did not identify a sauce, so those entries cannot automatically become one identical serving. [2] [3]

THE RECORD

nutrition

No serving weight or matching nutrient panel is supplied for these observations. The current saved listing also leaves weight unspecified. A child plate cannot inherit the calories of an adult serving, and a tomato-sauce description alone does not establish all ingredients or allergens. [1] [2] [3]

No serving-specific nutrition verified.

THE RECORD

prices

The table separates the later national entrée from East Palo Alto’s historical children’s red-sauce pasta. Emeryville’s 99-cent child choice was not a price for the adult penne plate. [1] [2] [3]

THE RECORD

distinctions

Emeryville’s 99-cent child-plate offer should not be assigned to the penne discussed elsewhere in the review. Historical children’s servings and the later national listing remain distinguishable within the family. [3] [1]
