This sauce is generally recognized as safe by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. The FDA has not set specific upper intake limits for chili sauce itself, but it does regulate individual ingredients like sodium and sugar. JECFA has evaluated many of the common ingredients found in chili sauces, such as chili peppers and garlic, and has established acceptable daily intakes for some additives used in their production. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
