A leading condiment manufacturer has initiated a recall due to potential health risks associated with undeclared allergens in certain sauce varieties. T.W. Garner Food Company, based in North Carolina, announced that specific batches of its Texas Pete® branded sauces might not align with their labeled ingredients. This issue was identified after internal quality checks revealed discrepancies between the contents and descriptions of some products.

One concern involves bottles of Texas Pete Habanero Buffalo Sauce mistakenly filled with Sriracha Sauce. Since Sriracha contains sulfites, which are not indicated on the Habanero Buffalo Sauce label, this oversight poses a significant risk for individuals with sulfite allergies. Additionally, another batch of Texas Pete Sweet CHAbanero Sauce lacks the stated ingredient of aged red habanero peppers. The company urges consumers to either discard these items or return them for a refund.

This proactive measure by T.W. Garner Food Company aims to protect public health while maintaining consumer trust. Despite no reported illnesses so far, the firm remains vigilant about ensuring product safety. Affected products were distributed across several states within a defined period earlier this year. For those seeking clarification, the company provides contact details through designated personnel available during regular business hours. Such actions underscore the importance of transparency and accountability in food production, reinforcing the commitment to safeguarding consumer well-being.
