Oh No, Your Favorite Hot Sauce May Have Been Recalled
There’s been a hot sauce recall and that may spell trouble for some of my friends. I’m surrounded by hot sauce lovers here at WRAT Radio.
It all started with my former co-worker, Steve Hook, King of the hot sauce collectors.
Steve would often bring in different hot sauces and recite the history of the pepper that gave the hot sauce its heat.
He would bring in hot sauces from all over the world, as well as hot sauces made by local businesses. He even brought in hot sauces from underground sources.
If the hot sauce was hot enough to blow out your sphincter, Steve owned it.
Who Is In Charge Of Hot Sauces At The RAT These Days?
Nowadays, Jimmy Steal takes over the hot sauce reigns to give us all the 4-1-1 on his latest hot sauce find with his, “Hot Takes” videos on the WRAT.COM website.
Jim has competition around these parts too. You may have met promo guru, Rob Cochran, aka, “Atomic Rob” at one of our WRAT events. Rob never leaves home without a bottle or 2 of hot sauce.
Rob puts that s**t on everything!
Rob would eat a car bumper if it was loaded up with hot sauce.
Rob and his fellow hot sauce lovers need to run to their pantries or cupboards because there has been a nation wide hot sauce recall from a hot sauce company out of North Carolina.
It seems that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an announcement this week for a recall of several lots of hot sauce produced by Vesta Fiery Gourmet Foods, Inc., of Raleigh, North Carolina.
According to MSN.com, The recall includes the company’s Benny T’s Vesta Dry Hot Sauce Ghost 1.5oz glass jar; Benny T’s Vesta Dry Hot Sauce Hot 1.5oz glass jar; Benny T’s Vesta Dry Hot Sauce Reaper 1.5oz glass jar; Benny T’s Vesta Dry Hot Sauce Scorpion 1.5oz glass jar; and Benny T’s Vesta Dry Hot Sauce Very Hot 1.5oz glass jar, “because these products contain undeclared wheat,” according to the FDA.
“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products,” the agency said.
Vesta Fiery Gourmet Foods, Inc., was notified by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture on January 4 that the labels for their hot sauces did not “state the flour used is a wheat flour.
Rob may be safe because I don’t think the guy is allergic to anything.
Jimmy on the other hand, has a gluten allergy. We need to inform him immediately.
