Knowing that people are looking for adventurous ways to enhance their culinary creations, Woodstock created a new line of bold hot sauces that ranges from 1,790 to 57,000 Scoville units. Free from added sugar, the Non-GMO Project Verified sauces tap into the growing demand for condiments to support a variety of at-home eating occasions. Amanda Helming, chief marketing officer at UNFI and Woodstock, says "The growth of the category has redefined what it means to be a hot sauce enthusiast to now include health-focused Millennial consumers looking for an extra kick to enhance their meals."
The hottest of the bunch is the Scorpion Pepper bottle, followed by Ghost Pepper. The collection of sauces are sourced from Costa Rica and manufactured in a carbon-neutral facility.
