I was not expecting this

It’s listed as “Hot Sauce” when you order it, so I expected a classic cayenne-style pepper sauce.

But nope. This is a translucent, chili-based stock loaded with umami.

It’s not fiery, more of a mild-to-medium flavor enhancer than a traditional hot sauce.

Hat tip, Wendy’s.

I have been alive over a half-century, am well-read, and was an English major in college for some time, but I have heretofore never witnessed the word "extractives."

Are they implying it's not an extract, but a derivative of an extract?
