Trappey's Louisiana Original Recipe Hot Sauce - 6 oz

Trappey's is one of the oldest hot sauce brands in the United States. It is produced by the New Iberia, Louisiana-based company Trappeys Fine Foods, Inc. Trappey's is now owned by B&G Foods, a major food conglomerate. The company produces Red Devil Cayenne Pepper Sauce, Louisiana Hot Sauce, Inda-pep Pepper Sauce, Chef Magic Jalapeño Sauce and pickled jalapenos.

The company was founded in 1898, when Louisiana entrepreneur (and former McIlhenny Company employee) B.F. Trappey began growing tabasco chilies from Avery Island seed. He founded the company B.F. Trappey and Sons and, with the help of his ten sons and one daughter, began producing his own sauce, which he called "Tabasco." The McIlhenny family, makers of Tabasco brand sauce eventually responded to this challenge and a several decades-long feud by receiving a trademark for their Tabasco brand in 1906. Afterwards Trappey resorted to the more ubiquitous "Louisiana Hot Sauce."
