Returns and Refunds
Last updated: October 24, 2026
All sales are final. Because our products are food, we do not accept returns. We replace or refund a product only if it arrives damaged or is defective.
1. Damaged or defective products
Contact us within 7 days of delivery, or of purchase at a market or event, if:
- The bottle arrived broken or leaking.
- The safety seal was missing or broken when you received it.
- The cap is bulging, or the sauce shows mold or a spoiled odor before the best-by date.
- The bottle contains a foreign object.
Send your order number or receipt, and a photo showing the problem and the lot code on the label. We will replace the product or refund it, including any shipping you paid. If you see a bulging cap, mold or a spoiled odor, do not eat the sauce.
If we sent the wrong item, we will send the correct one at no cost.
2. What is not a defect
The following are normal for a sauce made from real peppers and are not quality problems:
- Liquid and solids separating in the bottle; shake well before use.
- Pepper pieces or sediment settling at the bottom.
- Color darkening over time, especially after opening.
- Small differences in color, thickness or heat from one batch to the next.
- Changes after the best-by date, or after storage that does not follow the label.
We also do not refund products because of taste or heat preference.
