Here are 7 Canadian hot sauces to try now that Sriracha is scrambling for ingredients.

Dawson’s Shawarma Hot Sauce

We weren’t joking about the Hot Ones reference, as Dawson’s has appeared on multiple seasons of the hit show. Our top pick? Their Shawarma Hot Sauce, for a sweet and creamy mixture featuring cayenne, honey and red chilli.

Britannia Mills Cire A Chat

Of course, some actual Sriracha alternatives are also a must. One great bet here is the Britannia Mills version, which uses Canadian maple syrup to add a little sweetness to the spice.

Pepper North Stargazer

Back to the Hot Ones picks! Not to be messed with, this sauce earned a spot on Season 11 and comes with an ‘ultra hot’ warning thanks to the use of Scotch Bonnet peppers.
