Frequently Asked Questions
Is it actually Gluten-Free? Yes. This is a top search for Lee Kum Kee products. While some Asian sauces contain wheat-based soy sauce, this Thai Sweet Chili is Certified Gluten-Free, making it safe for guests with Celiac disease or gluten sensitivities.
How spicy is it? Online users frequently ask about the "heat level." On a scale of 1–5, this is a solid 1.5. It is designed to be a mild-medium sauce where the sweetness of the sugar and pineapple juice concentrate buffers the heat of the salted chilies.
Does it contain Pineapple? Yes. A common search query for those with allergies or looking for a "fruity" finish. The ingredient list includes concentrated pineapple juice, which provides a subtle tropical acidity and helps give the sauce its signature glossy finish.
Is it the same as "Bang Bang" sauce? Not quite, but searchers often use it as a base. To make a "Bang Bang" or "Boom Boom" style sauce, users search for recipes that mix this Sweet Chili Sauce with Mayonnaise and Sriracha.
Does it need to be refrigerated? Because this version has no artificial preservatives, the manufacturer and food safety guidelines recommend refrigeration after opening to maintain the color and the fresh taste of the garlic and shallots.
What is the "Confetti" inside the sauce? Users often search for why the sauce looks "chunky." Those are bits of salted chili peppers and dehydrated garlic. Unlike "Sweet and Sour" sauce, which is smooth, Thai Sweet Chili is characterized by these visible particulates that provide texture and flavor bursts.
