Popular hot sauce recalled in 10 states due to possible ‘life-threatening' allergen
A popular hot sauce brand is recalling select products because they may contain an unlisted ingredient that could pose life-threatening risks to some consumers. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced last Thursday that T.W. Garner Food Company is recalling its Texas Pete Habanero Buffalo Sauce because it may contain Sriracha Sauce, which includes sulfites — a known allergen not disclosed on the product label. Sulfites can trigger severe or potentially fatal allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. In addition, the company is recalling its Texas Pete Sweet CHAbanero Sauce due to an omission of Aged Peppers in the ingredients list. The recall includes both the 12-ounce and the two-ounce bottles of the habanero buffalo sauce with 'best-by' dates of November 7, 2025, and December 5, 2025. For the Sweet CHAbanero Sauce, the two-ounce bottles with MFR codes BB 090427M and BB 082627M, as well as the 20 fluid-ounce and half-gallon containers, were recalled. The hot sauce bottles were distributed between February 5 and March 26, according to the FDA's report. They were shipped to distribution centers and other stores in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia, and Vermont. There have currently been no reported illnesses as a result of the labeling error. Customers who have purchased the recalled bottles of hot sauce are urged to either dispose of them or return them in exchange for a full refund. The news comes just a few days after a popular brand of sausages was recalled due to a potential plastic contamination. Johnsonville, LLC is recalling approximately 22,672 pounds of its cheddar bratwurst product, according to an announcement shared by the United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on Saturday. The recall was issued because the sausages may have been contaminated 'with foreign material, specifically hard plastic.' Each of the tray packages contains five pieces of 'Johnsonville BRATS CHEDDAR Bratwurst' and the package code B9FOD. The recalled product has the establishment number 'Est. 1647' on the front of the label. They were first produced on February 5, 2025. The affected sausages were sent to various retailers in 10 states: Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin. The recall was initiated after Johnsonville, LLC received complaints from two different customers reporting hard plastic found in their bratwurst. At the time of writing, there have been no reports of injuries due to the consumption of the sausage. FSIS is urging consumers not to eat these products and to throw them away immediately. Consumers can also return the recalled product to the store they bought it from.

FDA Announces Recall of Popular Hot Sauce for Undeclared Life-Threatening Allergen
T.W. Garner Food Company has issued a recall for select bottles of Texas Pete hot sauce, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) announced on April 3. Certain lots and sizes of the popular Habanero Buffalo Sauce have been recalled because the bottles may actually contain Sriracha Sauce, and thus have undeclared sulfites. The FDA requires that all products that contain sulfites, with a concentration of 10 ppm or more, must declare their presence on the bottle for those with sulfite allergies or sensitivities. Additionally, T.W. Garner Food Company is issuing a recall for select lots of its Texas Pete Sweet CHAbanero Sauce because those bottles have been labeled improperly. The recalled Sweet CHAbanero Sauce contains aged peppers, however, the ingredient "Aged Peppers (Red Habanero Peppers, Salt, Vinegar)" is not listed on the bottle. To determine if you have any of the recalled Texas Pete hot sauces, you'll want to look for the following information on the label. 2-fluid ounce bottle; UPC: 0 75500 28125 9; Best-By Date: Dec. 5, 2025 12-fluid ounce bottle; UPC: 0 75500 10028 4; Best-By Date: Nov. 7, 2025 2-fluid ounce bottle; UPC: 0 75500 53125 5; Best-By Date: Sept. 4, 2027 2-fluid ounce bottle; UPC: 0 75500 53125 5; Best-By Date: Aug. 26, 2027 20-fluid ounce bottle; UPC: 0 75500 00530 5; Best-By Date: Aug. 2, 2027 1/2 gallon bottle; UPC: 0 75500 00536 7; Best-By Date: July 23, 2027; T 088224 Images of the bottles can also be viewed on the FDA's recall page. The recalled hot sauces were sold at retailers in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia, and Vermont between Feb. 5, 2025, and March 26, 2025. T.W. Garner Food Company discovered the problem during internal quality testing when it noticed that the Habanero Buffalo Sauce bottle actually contained Sriracha Sauce. It initiated the recall because the Sriracha Sauce contains sodium bisulfite as a preservative, which was not declared on the Habanero Buffalo Sauce bottle. At this time, no illnesses have been reported from either Texas Pete's Habanero Buffalo Sauce or Sweet CHAbanero Sauce. If you have the recalled Habanero Buffalo Sauce and have a sulfite allergy or sensitivity, you should not consume the sauce as it can cause serious or life-threatening allergic reactions. Instead, throw it away or return it to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement. If you have the sauce and don't have a sulfite allergy or sensitivity, you don't have to respond to this recall. The product is not inherently unsafe to consume, it was only recalled due to a labeling error. However, if you would like to replace the recalled Habanero Buffalo Sauce because it may contain the wrong sauce, you are entitled to a replacement or refund. If you have the recalled Sweet CHAbanero Sauce, you don't have to do anything regarding the recall. The product was recalled out of an abundance of caution because the label did not contain all the ingredients. If you want, you can return the product to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement. For any questions regarding the recall, you can contact T.W.
