Yes, here in Germany I only have seen the "goose" branded sriracha sauce. I quite like it, but of course, I don't know what I might be missing out.

- simlan 5y agoTastes the same to me. If at all the goose brand is slightly less spicy by default. Thanks to covid did not have the chance to do a cross check lately...
- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoI'm ok with the Goose too. The green capped, the red capped I can tolerate, but it can be a bit much for me. Recently tried a so called 'A-One' with extra garlic(pink capped, 500ml) and it has been so so. Won't buy again.
- felixg3 5y agoFellow German here who gets angry about the Flying Goose brand whenever I go into an Asian store: It’s not the same. Huy Fong Foods is much better and has much fewer additives.
- La1n 5y ago> has much fewer additives. Goose: chili 61%, sugar syrup, salt, garlic, water, acids: E260, E330, monosodium glutamate (E621), xanthan gum E415, potassium sorbate (E202). Huy Fong: Chili, sugar, salt, garlic, distilled vinegar, potassium sorbate (E202), sodium bisulfite (E222), and xanthan gum (E415) Seems very similar, distilled vinegar is E260, and E330 is citric acid.
- felixg3 5y agoFair enough. The important difference is the glutamate, though.
- Slippery_John 5y agoThe goose brand is less spicy and is WAY sweeter. I had my family in the states send me some of the Huy Fong stuff because I couldn't stand the sweetness of the goose brand.
- naturalauction 5y agoAmerican living in the UK here, try buying the huy fong brand on Amazon and see if you like it. I think it's far superior.
- jonquark 5y agoIt seems to be illegal in the EU+UK because it contains E222: citation: https://www.hot-headz.com/huy-fong-sriracha-chilli-sauce https://www.hot-headz.com/huy-fong-sriracha-chilli-sauce I'm not saying you can't buy it on Amazon and I don't know enough about nutrition to know why E222 was banned.
- ginko 5y agoAre you sure it's illegal in the EU? Pretty much any wine sold adds sulfites to stop the fermentation process. AFAIK all that's required is that they're labelled as containing sulfites. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfite_food_and_beverage_additives#Regulation_and_safety https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfite_food_and_beverage_addi...
- dagw 5y agoThe way it works is that they impose a default ban, and then you can apply for an exemption for your specific product category. Wine has an exemption, sauces and condiments do not. Why the EU would quickly make sure wine got an exemption and wasn't impacted in any way, and not do the same for hot sauces is a mystery for the ages.

- codemusings 5y agoWow I never realized the "goose" one is the knock off.
