    Capilano introduces Hot Chilli Honey for bold flavour seekers

    Honey maker Capilano has launched a Hot Chilli variant for consumers looking for that “spicy kick” in their food.

    Recommended for drizzling over pizza, wings, ribs, burgers, or toast, the company said the new Hot Chilli is set to redefine honey’s role in home cooking and give food an extra “wow” factor.

    Capilano Hot Chilli Honey combines 100 percent pure Aussie honey from its network of more than 800 beekeepers with savoury, spicy flecks of habanero chilli to create a savoury-style honey for use as condiment.

    In addition, the spicy honey is made with no preservatives or other nasties.

    Fiona Tavian, GM for innovation, Capilano, said studies show that an average Australian household consumes chilli every ten days, and suggest that five million adults enjoy hot sauce once a week.

    “We know Australians are always looking for ways to add excitement to their meals and prioritize natural ingredients,” said Tavian.

    “What a great way to support Aussie beekeepers by tapping into this huge appetite for Chilli products! “

    Capilano’s Hot Chilli Honey is available in a 340g squeeze pack for an RRP of $7.50 at Woolworths and will be stocked in Coles beginning October 2.

    Spicy sauce marketed as Australia’s first locally made sriracha

    Sir Racha hot sauce has added a new twist to its range, introducing a mildly punchy sauce that the company says is the first of its kind to be made in Australia.

    The original hot sauce is made from sun-ripened Australian jalapenos fermented with onion and garlic to distinguish natural sugars. It is then blended with vinegar to give it a “sour-y tang”. The sauce offers 2.6 calories, zero grams of fat and only 23mg of sodium per serve.

    Eric Robinson, hot sauce development officer at Sir Racha, said that there is nothing better than a sauce you can use liberally on everything. “It’s sweet, salty, sour and has that little bit of punch. With no added sugar, it really is a pantry staple.”

    Sir Racha is a healthy, all-natural product that supports Australian farmers & families.

  • Japan revokes Vietnamese chili sauce for Safety Reasons

    Japan revokes Vietnamese chili sauce for Safety Reasons

    The Osaka Information Portal reported Tuesday that the bottles were imported from Vietnam to Japan by the Osaka-based Javis Co., Ltd last December, and sold to the Kobe-based ISC Industrial Co., Ltd. Javis Co., Ltd never mentioned that the imported chili sauce contained benzoic acid, which is banned from all chili sauce in Japan, before selling it to ISC Industrial Co., Ltd, the portal said.

    Japanese authorities determined that the bottles contained between 0.41 to 0.45 grams of benzoic acid per kilogram of chilli sauce, after suspicions arose that ISC Industrial Co., Ltd was violating the country’s laws on food safety and food labeling.

    The Masan Group, which produced the chili sauce under the brand name of Chin-su, said it never exported the chili sauce to either Javis Co,. Ltd or ISC Industrial Co. Ltd. It said it only exported the product to the United States, Australia, Russia, the Czech Republic, China and Taiwan.

    “As we have no chili sauce sample in hand right now, we have no official conclusion on the origins of the bottles. However, it is likely that they are either exclusive for the Vietnamese market, or their origins are unknown,” the group stated in a press release.

    Vietnam’s Ministry of Health has yet to receive any official statements from Japan about the Chin-su case, Tran Viet Nga, deputy head of the Food Safety Department, said Saturday. But it is taking steps to clarify the matter, she added.

    “Benzoic acid is allowed as a food preservative according to the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), in which both Vietnam and Japan are members. In accordance to standards from the CAC, the levels of benzoic acid found in the chili sauce revoked by Japan were still within international standards,” she said.

    “Maybe Japan just has tougher requirements.”

    Japan bans benzoic acid in its chili sauce, but allows its presence in certain food products like syrup, margarine or soft drinks. Vietnam allows a maximum amount of one gram of benzoic acid per kilogram of chili sauce.

    The World Health Organization says a person can consume five milligrams of benzoic acid per kilogram of body weight daily without adverse health effects.
