Original Hot Sauce, 12 FZ
What You Should Know
You'd grab this bottle from the condiment aisle or see it on diner tables and kitchen counters, used to brighten tacos, eggs, wings, and leftovers. It feels practical and a little adventurous—small, craveable, and tied to casual meals and takeout nights. The short ingredient list (peppers, vinegar, salt) looks simple, but the added xanthan gum and industrial processing for consistent texture and shelf life point toward ultra-processed characteristics.
