Source: fda.govHabanero Buffalo Sauce Issue:: Bottles may mistakenly contain Sriracha Sauce, which includes sulfites not declared on the Habanero Buffalo label.
Sweet CHAbanero Sauce Issue:: Bottles are missing the labeled ingredient 'Aged Peppers (Red Habanero Peppers, Salt, Vinegar)'.
Why this matters:: Undeclared sulfites pose a serious or life-threatening risk to individuals with sulfite allergies or sensitivities. Mislabeling means consumers are not getting the product as described.
Company:: T.W. Garner Food Company
Brand:: Texas Pete®
This recall affects two distinct Texas Pete® products with separate issues:
Texas Pete® Habanero Buffalo Sauce: The primary concern here is the potential presence of undeclared sulfites. Some bottles were inadvertently filled with Sriracha Sauce. Consumers allergic or sensitive to sulfites could experience severe reactions if they consume this product thinking it's the sulfite-free Habanero Buffalo Sauce.
Texas Pete® Sweet CHAbanero Sauce: This product is being recalled due to mislabeling – specifically, the absence of 'Aged Peppers (Red Habanero Peppers, Salt, Vinegar)' as listed on the ingredient label. While this doesn't pose an allergen risk like the other product, it means the sauce does not meet its labeled description.
Consumers should check any Texas Pete® Habanero Buffalo Sauce or Sweet CHAbanero Sauce in their possession against the specific lots and sizes identified in the company's announcement (see Sources).
