🔥 The Hot Sauce Label Truth: Why Ingredient Order Changes the Heat!


Ever wonder why some hot sauces hit hard while others are all flavor, no fire? The answer isn’t just in the Scoville scale—it’s hidden in the ingredient list. In this episode, we break down how the order of ingredients by weight can completely change the flavor, heat, and quality of your favorite fiery condiments.


We’ll uncover:

🌶️ The FDA’s ingredient order rule and how it affects what you taste

🥄 Why vinegar or water as the first ingredient means a milder sauce

đź§„ How small amounts of garlic, onion, and spices shape flavor complexity

🔥 The difference between pepper potential vs. actual heat in the bottle

🛒 How to shop smart and pick sauces that deliver the spice you’re craving


By the end, you’ll be a hot sauce label detective—able to spot marketing tricks, decode heat levels, and choose sauces like a pro.


🎧 Listen and learn how to stay spicy AND smart.
