Prepared Foods' Executive Editor-Technical David Feder shares some new hot and spicy sauces and snacks he spotted at Natural Products Expo West 2023. The new product launches demonstrate that the category of pepper-infused foods and beverages not only is continuing to grow but is expanding in variety.

The Primal Kitchen collection of five new offerings remains true to the brand's original goals of making conscious eating and recreating classic condiments with purposeful, quality ingredients—no soy, canola, or dairy.

The new HERDEZ® Traditional Salsas are created with simple ingredients like tomatoes, onions, garlic and jalapeño peppers, and can be incorporated into your favorite recipes, enjoyed with chips or used as a topper.

Rolling out in major retailers nationwide and featuring unique pepper bases with varying heat levels, the HEINZ Hot Varieties include a new line-up of three Spicy Ketchup flavors and the first-ever HEINZ Hot 57 Sauce.

The introduction of Pickle Flavored Ranch is the latest example of the brand's commitment to deliver bold new flavors for dipping occasions.

Made with seven fresh ingredients, Saucy Gourmet contains no added sugars and is offered in four flavors with varying heat profiles: Chipotle Salsa, Classic Salsa, Habanero Salsa, and the newly released Salsa Verde, which will hit shelves across the country in 2023.

More than 50% of global consumers choose spicy options when dining out and 60% of consumers reported they are eating spicier foods today compared to a year ago. 

According to Innova’s 2022 Flavor Survey, 39% of Americans said they are most likely to experiment with flavors through sauces, seasonings, and toppings. These categories rank ahead of others such as bakery, soup, desserts and ice cream, cheese, savory snacks, and more.

Michael Angelo's sauces are made with fewer than 10 ingredients, and, unlike many other jarred sauces, do not contain tomato paste or added sugars, delivering uncompromising, Italian flavor.

The product’s name is derived from its hero ingredients as each bottle is 50% TABASCO® Green Jalapeño Sauce that’s been blended with Tinx-approved ingredients like avocado, EVOO, and apple cider vinegar.
