Do not let the name fool you. While Pure Poison will not truly harm you, it is known to leave a lasting impression on anyone brave enough to try it. This is a sauce that does not simply warm the palate—it ignites it.
A Fiery Beginning
Pure Poison holds a special place in hot sauce history as the product that launched the Poison Pepper Company. What began as an ambitious homemade recipe quickly captured attention in the competitive world of spicy foods.
In 1999, Pure Poison entered an amateur hot sauce competition and immediately made waves, taking first place and proving that this bold new creation had serious potential. Encouraged by its success, the sauce was officially named, labeled, and entered into the prestigious Scovie Awards the following year.
At the 2000 Scovie Awards, Pure Poison Hot Sauce achieved remarkable recognition:
First Place – Habanero Division
Second Place – Product Label Design
These awards helped cement Pure Poison as a rising star among craft hot sauces and introduced it to a much wider audience of heat lovers.
Crafted by Sauce Crafters
Pure Poison is produced by Sauce Crafters, a respected name in the specialty sauce world founded by CEO Charlie Schandelmayer in 1989. What began as a personal passion for creating barbecue sauce quickly grew into a thriving company dedicated to bold flavors and culinary creativity.
Over the decades, Sauce Crafters has expanded into recipe development and co-packing, now producing more than 130 unique recipes for companies across the specialty food industry while continuing to release their own imaginative sauces.
Pure Poison remains one of the most memorable creations in their lineup.
A Bright and Fiery Flavor Profile
Pure Poison Hot Sauce delivers a layered flavor experience that balances bright citrus, savory aromatics, and blistering heat.
The base begins with fresh habanero peppers, known for their fruity aroma and powerful spice.
These peppers are paired with garlic for depth and richness, then elevated by the vibrant tang of Florida orange juice and the sharp acidity of red wine vinegar.
To ensure the heat lives up to the sauce’s sinister name, a touch of capsaicin-rich chile pepper extract is added, pushing the heat level into truly extreme territory.
The result is a sauce that bursts with flavor before unleashing a long-lasting burn that keeps spice lovers coming back for more.
Bright, bold, and blazing hot—Pure Poison lives up to its reputation.
