Safe Hot Sauce?

[Sailing Girl]

Hi all,

Can someone recommend a hot sauce that does NOT contain distilled vinegar? I react to vinegar and alcohol derived from gluten grains, and I would like very much to find a good hot sauce that uses apple cider vinegar -- but I haven't located one yet. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!

Thai Kitchen Spicy Thai Chili has rice vinegar, is marked gluten free, and I did a home gluten test on it with a 10 ppm sensitivity that was negative. It also doesn't make me sick and I also react to grain vinegars. It will be in the international section. It is in a fairly tall bottle. Hope it works for you.

I believe Victoria's hot sauce actually says gluten free on the bottle. I can't remember if it has vinegar or not.

Franks hot sauce is gluten-free

Thanks very much for all your suggestions.

I'm not sure I can use the Frank's hot sauce, as they do not identify the source of the vinegar. They can say "gluten free" for distilled vinegar even if it's derived from gluten grains, but that doesn't stop me from reacting to the tiny amount of gluten left after distillation. I also react to grain-based alcohol (and really horribly, too -- so much so that I won't challenge either grain vinegars or grain alcohol anymore!).

I found another possibility in Fresh Market last night -- Busha Browne's Pukka Hot Pepper Sauce. It also says "gluten free," and the ingredients list cane vinegar. I've emailed them to make sure the only vinegar in the sauce is from sugar cane. If/when they respond, I'll post their response.
