Condiment brand Hunter & Gather has launched a new sauce variant, made in the UK and with 100% natural ingredients, in line with the rest of its portfolio. The new Unsweetened Sriracha Hot Sauce is made from red pepper, apple cider vinegar, garlic, cayenne pepper, pink Himalayan salt and konjac root, with no added sugars or sweeteners. With this latest addition, the brand’s sauce range, which is 100% plant-based, has been re-packaged into fully recyclable squeezy bottles. Amy Moring, co-founder of Hunter & Gather, said: “With the increased consumer drive for health and value, we’ve worked hard to create a flavour-packed, great-tasting range of sauces with exemplary health credentials (100% natural ingredients, no added sugar or sweeteners, 72% less sugar than the leading brand) but in a 100% recyclable squeezy bottle that means less waste and more value for shoppers”. She continued: “As the first and only unsweetened sauce brand in the UK, our mission is to raise the bar for health across the category, as we move from challenger to mainstream. Whilst other brands might claim ‘no added sugar,’ the reality is that most contain added natural sugar in the form of fruit syrups or dates that coat the palate. “Our squeezy sauces really do stand up to scrutiny as they are handmade in the UK in small batches, using quality ingredients, absolutely no added sugar or sweeteners.”
