What You Should Know

You’d spot this Secret Aardvark Habanero Hot Sauce in the condiment aisle or tucked into the fridge door after purchase — the kind of tangy, spicy bottle people grab to jazz up tacos, eggs, or takeout. It gives an adventurous, small-batch craft vibe with a bright, punchy heat. The ingredient list (modified food starch, calcium chloride, prepared mustard components and added sugar) and the smooth, shelf-stable formulation point to industrial processing for texture and stability, typical of ultra‑processed condiments.
