Four of the 25 sauces studied contained more than the FDA's standard for lead in food

University of Nevada - Las Vegas (UNLV) researchers tested 25 bottles of hot sauce imported from Mexico and South America. The products were bought in the U.S. at ethnic markets and grocery stores. Four bottles, or 16% of the sample, exceeded U.S. Food and Drug Administration standard for safe levels of lead. The product packaging was also tested because lead in packaging has been known to leach into food.

The four brands of Hot Sauce from Mexico with high lead levels were:

-El Pato Salsa Picante

-Salsa Picante de Chile Habanero

-Salsa Habanera

-Bufalo Salsa Clasica
