Every hot sauce broken down by realistic serving, with salt compared against NHS daily reference intakes.
Hot sauces are used in very small quantities, so per-100g figures overstate their effect substantially. The relevant question is what a teaspoon adds.
Classic vinegar-based hot sauces carry salt but almost no sugar or calories. A teaspoon adds a negligible amount of anything but salt.
Sweet chilli and sriracha-style sauces carry meaningful added sugar and are used in larger quantities, which changes the picture.
Some hot sauces are salt-forward and a tablespoon can carry a noticeable share of a child's daily allowance. Others carry very little.
Chilli heat has no relationship to any nutritional figure. A very hot sauce and a mild one can be identical apart from the capsaicin.
Each product page includes a full nutrition breakdown per serving and per pack, portion size comparisons, age-adjusted NHS daily reference intake calculations for children aged 4 to 17, an interactive calculator for your child's specific age and gender, and a complete ingredient and allergen guide.
