Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Cherry cake & pastry filling.; Raspberry cake & pastry filling; Cake & pastry filling. Across 24 tracked products, the mean is 93.7/100 and 33.3% 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 15 of 24 tracked Solo records (62.5%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 9 cannot be screened, so the 93.7/100 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.

Solo relies most on Red 40, an industry staple
Across the 15 Solo products scored here, Red 40 appears in 3. It is used by 2,397 other brands in this database (6.8% 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.
| Flagged ingredient | Solo products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Red 40 | 3 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Caramel Coloring | 1 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Titanium Dioxide | 1 | Restricted: EU (banned); California (under review) |
Counts are products in this database whose ingredient list names the flagged ingredient. Flags come from FDA enforcement actions, CSPI Chemical Cuisine ratings and US state ingredient laws; see the methodology for how each source is applied.
Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 15 concern-sorted Solo 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 (11 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.
