What it is

Sriracha hot chili sauce is a popular condiment made from a paste of sun-ripened chili peppers, garlic, vinegar, sugar, and salt. It originated in Thailand and gained widespread popularity through its production in the United States.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add Sriracha for its spicy flavor and savory notes, acting as a primary flavor enhancer. It is commonly found in sauces, marinades, dressings, and as a dipping sauce, adding a kick to a variety of dishes.

Health notes

Sriracha is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. The primary ingredients, chilies and vinegar, are common food items with long histories of use. While capsaicin, the compound that makes chilies hot, has been studied for various health effects, typical consumption levels in Sriracha are unlikely to cause significant adverse effects. JECFA has evaluated chili extract, but Sriracha itself is a complex mixture.

Allergen info

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