Frank’s RedHot just kicked things up a notch—actually, six notches. The iconic hot sauce brand, beloved for turning mild meals into fiery feasts, has launched six sizzling new sauces across its Dip’n, Squeeze, and Wings lines. From sweet n’ spicy mango habanero to bold Korean BBQ, these newcomers are ready to drizzle, dunk, or douse everything in sight. For CPG brands, food manufacturers, and wholesale buyers, this flavor explosion signals new ways to spice up retail-ready SKUs and inspire the next private label hit in the ever-hot sauces and condiments category. Sauces are dropping everywhere, and we can’t stop them!
Hot sauce glow-up
McCormick’s crown jewel, Frank’s RedHot, announced a spicy expansion with six new sauces ready to hit shelves (and taste buds) nationwide. Designed to be mess-free, clingy in all the right ways, and bursting with global flavor, the new sauces are available in Squeeze, Dip’n, and Wings formats. Because why settle for basic buffalo when you can hit your nuggets with Korean BBQ?
Let’s break down the saucy squad:
Squeeze Sauces (for your burgers, fries, and soul):
- Burger Sauce – Frank’s meets dill pickles and mayo. We’re calling it “the Big Drip.”
- Korean BBQ – A savory soy-garlic bomb with a warm cayenne hug.
Dip’n Sauces (thicc and clingy, just how we like it):
- Secret Chicken – Smoky, creamy, and probably hiding government secrets.
- Sweet N’ Sour – Classic takeout vibes, turned up with heat.
Wing Sauces (spoiler: not just for wings):
- General Tso – A stir-fry icon reborn as a wing commander.
- Mango Habanero – Fruity, fiery, and a little flirty.
“These sauces offer accessible heat and trendy flavor combos, inviting fans to experiment and explore.” said Valda Coryat, North America VP of Marketing at McCormick.
Translation? Dinner just got dangerously fun.
Sauce goals, bottled
This isn’t just a sauce drop—it’s a flavor power move. Frank’s is checking all the trend boxes and then some:
- “Swicy” is the New Salty – Sweet + spicy is dominating menus and shelves alike.
- Global Grub, Local Bottles – Korean BBQ and General Tso bring international flavor to the mainstream aisle.
- Ready-to-Use, Ready-to-Win – Easy-drizzle, clingy textures fit perfectly in today’s grab-and-go, dip-on-the-fly world.
- Retail Gold – Bright bottles + bold flavors = serious cart appeal (and social media fodder).
- Private Label Fuel – These SKUs scream inspiration for anyone developing their next retail-ready hit.
The sauce section just got spicier
Behind every great sauce is a flavor stack that manufacturers need to be ready for. Think:
- Aged cayenne and habanero? Hot commodity.
- Garlic, soy, vinegar, mango? Better stock up.
- Creamy bases for dip and drizzle? Yup, you’ll need those too.
Ingredient sourcing teams and R&D chefs—take notes. This is what innovation looks like: global mashups, familiar comfort with a twist, and packaging that makes it easy for anyone to sauce like a pro.
Sauce-clusion!
Frank’s RedHot didn’t just add new sauces—they unleashed a buffet of inspiration. Whether you’re developing the next retail sensation or tweaking your co-man’s condiment lineup, these new flavors are a spicy sign of what’s trending: global heat, ready-to-use formats, and sauces that do more than just sit on the side.
And if you’re in the bulk game? Now’s the time to ride the wave. The demand for bold, ready-to-eat flavor is sizzling—and we’ve got the ingredients to match.
