What it is

Red pepper sauce powder is a dehydrated form of hot sauce, typically made from red chili peppers, vinegar, and salt. The peppers are blended into a sauce, then dried and ground into a powder. This process concentrates the flavor and heat of the peppers.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use red pepper sauce powder to add a spicy, tangy flavor and a hint of color to foods. It is often found in snack foods like chips, crackers, and pretzels, as well as in pickles, relishes, and seasoned olives. Its powdered form makes it easy to incorporate into dry mixes and rubs.

Health notes

Red pepper sauce powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. The capsaicin in peppers, the compound responsible for their heat, has been studied for various health effects. Some research suggests it may have antioxidant properties, while other studies explore its potential role in metabolism. However, evidence is mixed, and it is not a primary source of nutrients. JECFA has evaluated capsaicinoids and established an acceptable daily intake.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is derived from peppers, which are not among the nine FDA major allergens.
