Hi,

I am wondering if anyone would know what shelf-life to expect from a cooked cream based Pepper Sauce.

No additives or preservatives...

Thanks

How is it packed into the containers, and is it refrigerated or frozen

Hot filled or filled cold? Does it receive a 6 log reduction for C. bot if chilled? Or is it heat processed in the packaging?

Hot filled after a 90/10 cook? This is sussle territory. I'm going to go back to recommending the Chilled Food Association as a UK body. Not sure if there's similar in Ireland.
