Texas Pete Buffalo Style Chicken Wing Sauce

Texas Pete was the first to introduce buffalo-style chicken wing sauce in the Southeast. Today, Texas Pete continues to pleasure tastebuds all over the world with the sensation of buttery heat. It’s a wicked combination that makes any food better. Classic, rich, buttery buffalo wing sauce flavor. Invented for chicken wings, but it’s wonderful with so many other foods. A great baste for grilled chicken or pork, too. Or try mixing it with ground beef for some spicy Buffalo Burgers.

Texas Pete puts this a HOT or their spiciness scale. For context, Tabasco brand pepper sauce is in the 2,500 – 5,000 SHU range.

Scoville Heat Units (SHU): 300-600

Ingredients

Vinegar
aged peppers (peppers, salt, vinegar)
water
xanthan gum and benzoate of soda (to preserve freshness and flavor)
natural butter type flavor
vinegar
salt
sugar
potassium sorbate (to preserve freshness and flavor)

I wonder what that “Natural butter type flavor” actually is. Seems to be vegan based on what Franks Red Hot people have said about it not being derived from any animal products. Original buffalo wings would have really been fried and tossed with butter and hot sauce, so in theory butter is a good thing. But there’s no good information that I can find about what it’s actually derived from. Anyone have this info?
