What You Should Know

Frank's RedHot Chile ’N Lime Seasoning is a punchy, citrus-laced shaker that sits at the intersection of hot-sauce heritage and pantry convenience. You'd spot this 5.43 oz bottle in the spice and condiment aisle—clustered with other seasoning blends, taco kits, and hot sauces—often shelved near lime- and chili-forward products and snack toppers. It fits quick weeknight dinners, backyard grilling sessions, and party or game-day snack prep: think tacos, fries, shrimp, elotes, and fresh fruit sprinkled with savory heat. The Frank's name borrows the brand’s hot-sauce credibility, appealing to casual home cooks, grillers, and millennials who prize bold, shareable flavors and easy seasoning hacks. The label leans into flavor-first messaging—zesty, south-of-the-border inspiration—rather than wellness claims; ingredients like “natural flavor” and lime juice concentrate may read as mild health halos, but there’s no organic certification or explicit clean-label certification. In plain terms, this is a processed seasoning blend that combines dried spices with modified starches, maltodextrin and anti-caking agents to ensure consistent pourability. Sensory notes: a free-flowing fine powder with flecks of chili and paprikal extract, bright lime top notes and a savory, garlicky backbone; the shaker ritual is immediate—shake over hot foods, fruit, or grilled proteins straight from the bottle. Packaging is a small plastic or PET shaker bottle designed for countertop use. Overall it’s positioned as an easy, flavorful shortcut to add tangy heat to everyday American meals and snack occasions.
