What it is

Hot pepper sauce is a condiment made from chili peppers, vinegar, and often salt and other spices. The peppers are typically mashed or blended, then mixed with the other ingredients and allowed to ferment or age before bottling.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use hot pepper sauce to add heat and flavor to a wide variety of foods. It is commonly found in savory dishes like soups, stews, chili, and as a component in sauces and marinades.

Health notes

Hot pepper sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. The capsaicin in peppers, which provides the heat, can interact with pain receptors. Some research suggests potential benefits for metabolism and pain relief, but evidence is mixed and more studies are needed. JECFA has evaluated capsaicinoids and did not set a numeric limit.

Allergen info

Hot pepper sauce is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
