Texas Pete Issues Immediate Recall On Popular Hot Sauce Flavors—Here's What to Know
The recalls have been stacking up this month, with Texas Pete entering the fold with a recall on a number of its bottled hot sauces. The news comes just weeks after Hot Ones found itself in a similar boat, as well as Coca-Cola, Target and many more.
According to an April 3 announcement, T.W. Garner Food Company is recalling select lots and sizes of Texas Pete Habanero Buffalo Sauce. The announcement claims that the bottles in question could potentially contain Sriracha Sauce, which in itself contains sulfites, of which are not listed on the label. The cause for concern here lies with those who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to sulfites, as these folks run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction so should they consume the recalled products.
