BTW, the only reason ANY company has to add a preservative - like Sodium
Benzoate - to their hot sauce to halt fermentation is this:

1.  They bottled below 165 degrees, and didn't sterilize their bottles.

2.  They're not an acidified food

I'm at a loss why companies do this.  Makes no business sense at all!
