Sriracha is a style of chilli sauce originating from Thailand, made primarily from red chillies with garlic, sugar, and vinegar. FG Sriracha Chilli Sauce has an exceptionally high chilli content of 61%, giving it an intense heat. Compared to Tabasco, it has a thicker consistency with a more pronounced garlic aroma, and a balanced sweet-spicy profile. Unlike Indonesian-style Sambal, it contains no shrimp paste or seafood ingredients, making it suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It can also be used naturally in European dishes such as pizza, pasta, fried rice, burgers, and as a dipping sauce.

Yes, FG Sriracha Chilli Sauce Original is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. It contains no ingredients of animal origin. The ingredients are: chilli, sugar, garlic, salt, water, acidity regulators, flavour enhancer, stabiliser, and preservative. It also contains no gluten-containing grains such as wheat, barley, or rye, making it suitable for a gluten-free diet. Please note that Halal certification has not been confirmed at this time; customers requiring Halal-certified products are advised to contact the manufacturer directly before purchasing.

Yes, FG Sriracha Chilli Sauce contains the flavour enhancer E621 (monosodium glutamate, MSG). MSG is an approved food additive under EU food additive regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 and is legally used across Europe. MSG enhances the umami (savory) taste of food, and glutamate is also naturally present in foods such as Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, tomatoes, and mushrooms. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has assessed it as safe at typical levels of use in food. Individuals who are sensitive to MSG are advised to be mindful of their intake.

FG Sriracha Chilli Sauce contains 7.3g of salt per 100ml, which is approximately 122% of the EU recommended daily salt intake for adults — a notably high level. Therefore, it is recommended to use this sauce in small amounts as a finishing sauce or dipping sauce rather than as a primary seasoning. For example, drizzle a few drops over pizza, mix with mayonnaise or sour cream to make a dipping sauce, or add a small amount to a marinade. When adding it to dishes that already contain salt, reduce other salt usage accordingly.

Before opening, FG Sriracha Chilli Sauce should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, refrigerate and use as soon as possible. As this is a large 730ml bottle, it is best purchased when you plan to use it frequently or across a variety of dishes. It contains the preservative E202 (potassium sorbate), which helps maintain quality in the refrigerator after opening, but please follow the best-before date indicated on the product label for accurate guidance.
