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! -- Robert Farr (540) 668-7160 Check out http://www.thechileman.com for Hot Sauces, Salsas, Mustards & More!
