Texas Pete hot sauces recalled in Massachusetts over allergen, labeling issues
Apr 04, 2025
WINSTON SALEM, N.C. (WKBN) – Two varieties of Texas Pete hot sauces have been recalled in 10 states over issues with bottling and labeling, the T.W. Garner Food Company has announced.
The company issued a recall for certain bottles of its Texas Pete Habanero Buffalo Sauce and Texas Pete Sweet C
HAbanero Sauce on Thursday. The North Carolina-based company said inspectors had discovered that some bottles of the Habanero Buffalo may instead contain a sriracha pepper sauce, which contains sulfites not disclosed on the Habanero Buffalo label.

"People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to sulfites run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products," the T.W. Garner Foods Company writes.
The Sweet CHAbanero sauce, meanwhile, was recalled because one of its ingredients — specifically, "aged peppers (red habanero peppers, salt, vinegar)" — was somehow left off the label.
