Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Guacamole Salsa; Fire Roasted Corn & Black Bean Salsa; Cheesy Chicken Chalupa. Across 25 tracked products, the mean is 93.3/100 and 16.7% carry a separately flagged ingredient. That is enough to compare formulations inside this captured range, but not enough to assume every current package matches. Start with the lowest-scoring product rows and confirm the ingredient panel when a specific additive matters.
Catalog evidence
Ingredient-list coverage comes before the score
Only 18 of 25 tracked 505 Southwestern records (72%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 7 cannot be screened, so the 93.3/100 mean describes the labelled subset rather than the whole brand.
Next check: use the product rows below to verify the labelled subset, then compare the current package for any unscored item.

505 Southwestern relies most on Blue 1, an industry staple
Across the 18 505 Southwestern products scored here, Blue 1 appears in 1. It is used by 1,963 other brands in this database (5.6% of them), so its presence says more about the category than about this brand. A flag records that a named source raised a concern about an ingredient. It is not a finding that a product is unsafe to eat.

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 18 concern-sorted 505 Southwestern records shown below. Horizontal position is the number of resolved ingredients on that product's stored label; vertical position is its source-derived screening score. The dashed medians (10.5 ingredients and 100/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
