Check the original label ↗Seasonings and condiments can add savoury flavour or acidity in small quantities. Their nutrition varies: soy-based liquid seasoning may contribute sodium, fortified nutritional yeast adds B vitamins, and vinegar has a declared acidity. A teaspoon and a tablespoon are different reference portions.
The pack details above come from the manufacturer. Ingredient research below does not establish the effects of this exact product or independently verify its contents.
Count the condiment portion
The current US panel declares 35 mg sodium per 5 ml. A few drops and a full teaspoon contribute different amounts; compare sauces using the same measured volume.
Heat describes flavour, not benefit
The manufacturer gives Original Red a 2,500–5,000 Scoville range. That range describes pepper heat and does not establish any health outcome for this bottled product.
Recognise the pictured bottle
The licensed photograph shows a 2 fl oz (59 ml) US bottle in 2013 artwork. Current facts come from the manufacturer’s Original Red formula page; the official store now features a 5 fl oz pack.
Where might it be useful?
A culinary role
Use the exact ingredient and quantity called for in a recipe; concentrated seasoning and vinegar are not interchangeable with staple foods.
Labels make comparisons useful
Compare like-for-like serving volumes or weights and check the whole ingredient list, including allergens and added vitamins.
What the research can — and cannot — tell us
These profiles describe current manufacturer food labels and preparation instructions. Culinary use and nutrient content do not establish that a branded food treats disease.
What deserves your attention?
The 5 ml amount is the label reference, not a required portion. This hot condiment contains salt; check the purchased regional label and adjust the quantity to your heat preference.
Suitability comes before strength
Soy-containing seasonings remain unsuitable for someone avoiding soy. Account for sodium and added vitamins where relevant, and follow vinegar dilution and storage directions.
Dietary details for this product
