What You Should Know

You’d spot this bottle in the hot-sauce aisle or on the fridge door, ready to liven up tacos, noodles, sandwiches or late-night snacks. It gives an adventurous, convenient kick—evoking takeout and quick, flavorful meals. The short ingredient list hides industrial touches (added sugar, garlic salt and xanthan gum) that create a smooth, pourable texture and point to factory processing rather than a home-made condiment.
