(NewsNation) — A hot sauce recall has been issued across 10 states due to mislabeling, which may have led to unintended sulfites in products.

T.W. Garner Food Company issued the recall for its “Texas Pete Habanero Buffalo Sauce” after an internal inspection found some contained its sriracha sauce, which has sulfites.

A recall was also issued for some of its “Texas Pete Sweet CHAbanero Sauce” because some of the labels did not include the ingredient aged peppers.

As of Thursday, no illnesses have been reported, according to USA Today.
