Frank's RedHot is a hot sauce made from a variety of cayenne peppers, produced by McCormick & Company. The Original blend ranks low on the Scoville scale, with 450 SHUs, while even the XTRA Hot variety only measures 2,000 SHUs,[1][2] which is lower than Tabasco, Cholula Hot Sauce, and Tapatío, and only slightly hotter than Sriracha.[3]
