Is Sriracha Vegan?
Sriracha is a simple chili sauce typically made with red chili peppers, vinegar, garlic, sugar, salt, and sometimes additional preservatives or thickeners. This means, most of the time — unless mixed with mayo or any other dairy base — this sauce can usually be considered totally vegan.
Although most sriracha sauces are vegan, some are healthier, and made with simpler ingredients than others. Furthermore, some brands, like the popular Huy Fong Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce, contain refined sugar that has been processed in a non-vegan way.
