Commitment to cleanliness and quality

Harvested chile peppers are inherently dirty and highly prone to pathogens. They are often adulterated with fillers and heavy metals like brick powder, lead and chromium. Sensient prevents this.

We employ stringent protocols to ensure food safety and integrity at every stage. All our capsicum products are steam-treated and/or irradiated and go through regular testing in validated labs. Our growers and supply change controls ensure strict adherence to approved agricultural practices. When you partner with Sensient, you can rest assured you will only be sourcing products that meet the highest standards of safety, quality and compliance.

Grown in the USA

We support local farmers and reduce reliance on international imports because our ingredients are grown in the US. Our relationship with multi-generation farmers allows us to oversee each stage—from the farm to our facilities—ensuring traceability and high-quality.
