FAQs
Nutrition Facts & Ingredients
Where Can I Find Product Information and Nutrition Facts?
You can find the ingredients and nutritional facts information on the product packaging. While we do our best to keep the most current ingredients and nutrition facts on this website and our other storefronts, the best source of product information is on the package you purchase.
How do you calculate Net Carbs?
Net carbs are calculated by subtracting fiber and sugar alcohols from total carbs.
Total Carbs
– Dietary Fiber
– Allulose (included in Total Carbohydrates in Nutrition Facts)
– Sugar Alcohols
What are Net Carbs?
Net carbs help you track carbohydrates that impact blood sugars. Dietary fiber, allulose (sugar) and sugar alcohols should be subtracted from total carbohydrates, as they have a low glycemic response.
Do your products contain dairy?
All of our products are dairy (Milk) free. Our Bagels are produced in a facility that processes Dairy (Milk).
What natural sweeteners do you use?
We are proud to say we provide you with quality ingredients that can be found in nature. We use familiar sweeteners like Monk Fruit and Stevia Leaf without adding excess carbs to your diet. Sola products do not contain artificial sweeteners like Maltitol, Aspartame, Sucralose, or Saccharine.
Do your products contain any added sugar?
Most of our products only contain naturally-occurring sugars that have low or no impact on blood sugar levels.
Are all of the ingredients in your products Non-GMO?
All ingredients used to make Sola breads & bagels are Non-GMO.
Does taking out artificial preservatives mean your products will go bad faster?
No, we have tested our products using third-party verification and found that our products should continue to have a 45-day shelf life at room temperature. Conversely, if you're like us and enjoy stocking up, our products stay fresh in the freezer for up to 12 months with sacrificing texture or quality.
What are GMOs and why do they matter?
Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs are living organisms that have had their genetic code altered in some way. The centuries-old way to crossbreed crops involves mixing all the genes from two sources – think grapefruit, which is the cross between a pomelo and a sweet orange. Producing a GMO is much more targeted. Instead of crossing two plants out in the field, a gene or two into individual cells are inserted in a lab. There is currently no data to indicate that the consumption of GMOs is bad for human health, but the team of Sola chefs and food scientists decided we wanted to go back to the basics when sourcing ingredients for our improved formula. This is why we are excited to share that all of our products are now Non-GMO certified.
Do your products have Erythritol?
Yes, our products do contain erythritol along with other natural sweeteners. Sola is focused on continuing to elevate and transform the commercial bread aisle and recently reformulated our full line of products to use only non-GMO ingredients and remove all saturated fats, artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives. While the recent Nature Medicine study was not specific to the general population and only revealed correlation and not causation, we are continuously reviewing the latest nutrition and scientific research to ensure Sola continues to lead the low carb market.
How did you get to 0g net carbs?
We focused on maximizing fiber through natural sources like Agave Fiber while minimizing digestible carbs. Each slice contains 9g Fiber and 9g Carbs, resulting in 0g Net Carbs (9g Carbs - 9g Fiber = 0g Net Carbs). That means you get all the fiber benefits without the carb crash. Our 0g net carb Breads are an Excellent Source of Fiber!
Is Sola diabetic-friendly?
Absolutely! Our Breads & Bagels are still designed to be diabetic-friendly and you should not expect an increase in glycemic response. However, individual responses to carbohydrates can vary, so it's always a good idea to monitor your blood sugar and consult your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns.
What lifestyles or diets align with Sola?
Sola products align with a variety of lifestyles and diets, including: high protein, keto or low-carb, atkins, macro-tracking, GLP-1s, 30-30-30, 75 hard and more.
What's a PDCAAS score?
A PDCAAS score measures protein quality, reflecting both its completeness and how well your body can absorb it. Our Sola Breads boast a perfect 100% PDCAAS score, meaning they provide all essential amino acids in highly absorbable forms. Sola Bagels are also excellent sources of protein, scoring 90–93%, depending on the variety - so you’re getting high-quality, complete protein in every bite.
What's a complete protein?
All Sola Breads & Bagels are a source of Complete Protein! Complete Proteins contain the right balance of all 9 essential amino acids the body can't produce on its own. Our bodies need all 9 essential amino acids to buld and repair muscle tissue.
What are Sola products an excellent source of?
Sola Bagels are an Excellent Source of Fiber and Protein, with each bagel delivering more than 20% Daily Value. Sola Breads are an Excellent Source of Fiber, delivering 32% Daily Value per slice!
Why do we use avocado oil?
We use avocado oil because it’s a high-quality, heart-healthy oil that’s naturally rich in good fats. It has a clean, neutral taste that lets the natural flavors of our ingredients shine. Plus, it’s less processed than many common cooking oils, which helps us keep our products as simple and wholesome as possible.
Do your breads/bagels contain seed oils?
We’re completely seed oil free and instead use avocado oil, which we chose for its clean taste and naturally beneficial fats. Our goal is to keep our ingredients simple and thoughtfully selected for both quality and nutrition.
What is prebotic fiber?
Prebiotic fiber is a type of dietary fiber that feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut. Instead of being digested by your body, it helps support a healthy gut microbiome. We include prebiotic fiber to help support digestive health.
Are your protein sources Clean Proteins?
Yes, our protein sources are clean proteins. We carefully select high-quality protein ingredients that are minimally processed and free from unnecessary additives. Our goal is to keep our products simple, transparent, and made with ingredients you can feel good about.

Are you located in the freezer or bread aisle?

I got a defective product in-store, what can I do about it?
If purchased through a grocery store, you’re able to get your money back if you return it to the grocery store from where you originally bought the product.

My store still has your old packaging, is that bread still fresh?
Yes! Sola bread is baked fresh, then immediately frozen and transported to some retailers. Your store is likely still selling the remainder of its frozen inventory. As long as the expiration date printed on the packaging you received has not passed, your bread is still fresh.
