(b) Macaroni is the macaroni product the units of which are tube-shaped and more than 0.11 inch but not more than 0.27 inch in diameter.
(c) Spaghetti is the macaroni produc
t th
e units of which are tube-shaped or cord-shaped (not tubular)
and
more than 0.06 inch but not more than 0.11 inch in diameter
.
(d) Vermicelli is the macaroni product the units of which are cord-shaped (not tubular) and not more than 0.06 inch in diameter.

However, hundreds if not thousands of different kinds of pasta are commonly available, both fresh and dried. If the pasta selection in your nearest market is unacceptable, find another market or order online.
