What it is
Cheese tortellini is a type of ring-shaped pasta, traditionally from Italy, that is filled with a mixture of cheeses. It is made by rolling pasta dough, typically from wheat flour and eggs, into thin sheets, cutting out circles, filling them with cheese, and then folding and shaping them.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use cheese tortellini as a main component in various prepared meals. It is frequently found in frozen dinners, entrees, and soups, providing a source of carbohydrates and protein. It serves as a base for many pasta dishes.
Health notes
Cheese tortellini is a composite food product, not a single food additive, and therefore does not have a specific regulatory status from the FDA as an additive. As a food, its nutritional profile varies depending on the specific ingredients and preparation, but it typically contributes carbohydrates, fats, and protein to the diet. There are no specific health controversies associated with cheese tortellini itself, beyond general dietary considerations related to calorie, sodium, or saturated fat intake.
Allergen info
Cheese tortellini contains wheat, milk, and egg, which are all major food allergens identified by the FDA. It also contains gluten from the wheat.
