Fun Holiday – Hot Sauce Day 2022


Turn the heat up in your kitchen or on your dining table by adding hot sauce to everything you eat!

Hot sauce, also known as chili sauce or pepper sauce, is any seasoning, or salsa made from chili peppers and other ingredients.

Many commercial varieties of mass-produced chili sauce exist. Some commercially produced chili sauces are canned, with red tomato that is processed into a pulp used as the primary ingredient.

The H. J. Heinz Company is one major producer of chili sauces. In the United States, commercially produced chili sauces are assigned various grades per their quality. These grades include U.S. Grade A (also known as U.S. Fancy), U.S. Grade C (also known as U.S. Standard) and Substandard. Criteria in food grading for chili sauces in the U.S. includes coloration, consistency, character, absence of defects and flavor.
