What You Should Know

You’d find this on the hot sauce/condiment shelf or in the fridge of someone who likes bold, spicy flavors — perfect for tacos, eggs, wings or as a punchy finishing sauce. It projects an adventurous, small-batch/artisanal vibe while still being an easy, go-to flavor booster. The ingredient list (reconstituted components, added sugar and modified food starch, plus stabilizers like calcium chloride) points to a shelf-stable, engineered texture and processing consistent with ultra-processed products.
