Two types of Texas Pete hot sauces have been recalled in 10 states due to issues connected to bottling and labeling, the T.W. Garner Food Company announced.

The company is based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

The notice appears on the website of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) website in the product recalls section.

The company said it is also recalling select lots and sizes of the Texas Pete Sweet CHAbanero Sauce because the bottles "fail to contain the labeled ingredient aged peppers (red habanero peppers, salt, vinegar)."

During internal quality testing, the company found that "bottles of Habanero Buffalo Sauce actually contained sriracha sauce," the firm said in its recall notice. 

"Upon review of the two labels, it was determined that the Habanero Buffalo Sauce may contain undeclared sulfites, since the sriracha sauce contains sodium bisulfite as a preservative."

To date, no illnesses have been reported, the company noted.

The impacted products were distributed between Feb. 5, 2025, and March 26, 2025. 

The company said the best-by date is located on the top of the side of the 2 fluid oz. bottles, on the back label for the 20 oz. bottles, and on top of the cap for the 12 fl. oz. and 0.5 gallon jugs. 

Consumers who have purchased any of these products "are urged to dispose of [them] or return [them] to their place of purchase for a full refund," the company said.

Consumers with any additional concerns can contact the T.W. Garner Food Company.
