Peter:

Every "extract" sauce that I've ever bought or seen lists the extract
ingredient in some form or another; sometimes just as generic as "pepper
extract", or  as specifically "oleoresin capsicum" (in one case "oleoresin
cayenne"). With the current labeling regulations, I don't think just
putting "chiles" on the label would cut it...
