T.W. Garner Food Company has issued a voluntary recall for specific lots of two of its Texas Pete® condiments due to safety labeling concerns that could pose health risks to certain consumers. The recall affects the Habanero Buffalo Sauce and Sweet CHAbanero Sweet Sriracha Habanero Sauce after internal testing revealed labeling discrepancies that may result in undeclared allergens or incorrect ingredient disclosures.

The company found that some bottles labeled as Habanero Buffalo Sauce actually contained Sriracha Sauce, which includes sodium bisulfite—a sulfite that is not declared on the product label. Sulfites can trigger serious or life-threatening reactions in individuals with allergies or sensitivities. No adverse health incidents have been reported so far. Additionally, the Sweet CHAbanero Sweet Sriracha Habanero Sauce is missing its labeled ingredient, aged peppers, which includes red habanero peppers, salt, and vinegar.
The affected products were distributed from February 5 through March 26, 2025, and were sold across retail locations and distribution centers in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia, and Vermont. Various sizes ranging from 2 fluid ounces to half-gallon containers are included in the recall. Specific UPC codes and best-by dates are listed by the manufacturer for consumer reference.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
T.W. Garner Food Company is advising customers who purchased any of the recalled products to either discard them or return them to the point of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions can contact the company’s Director of Quality Assurance by phone or email during regular business hours. The recall was made public via the FDA’s safety alert system, which serves to notify the public of food-related risks.
