What it is

Sriracha sauce is a popular hot sauce made primarily from chili peppers, garlic, vinegar, sugar, and salt. It originated in Thailand and gained widespread popularity in the United States, often made by American companies.

Health notes

Sriracha sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. The primary ingredients like chili peppers and vinegar are common food components. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot, and established safety guidelines. While generally safe, excessive consumption of spicy foods can sometimes cause digestive discomfort for some individuals.
