Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce

Frank's RedHot is a historic American hot sauce brand that traces its origins back to 1918. Jacob Frank and Adam Estilette partnered to create a sauce using sun-ripened cayenne peppers, which officially hit the market under the Frank's RedHot name in 1920. The brand gained massive cultural significance in 1964 when it was famously used as the primary ingredient in the first-ever Buffalo chicken wing sauce in Buffalo, New York.

Today, the brand is a staple in households worldwide, known for its signature balance of flavor and heat. While it was originally produced by the Frank Tea and Spice Company in Cincinnati, Ohio, the brand changed hands several times over the decades, spending a long period under the Reckitt Benckiser umbrella. In 2017, the brand was acquired by spice giant McCormick & Company.

Manufacturing primarily takes place in Springfield, Missouri, though larger distribution networks may involve localized packaging or production for international markets. As a flagship product of McCormick & Company, Frank's RedHot continues to dominate the hot sauce category, leveraging the extensive global supply chain of its parent company.
