Man Sues ‘Texas Pete,' Claims the Hot Sauce Isn't Made in Texas
White said the defendant, T.W. Garner Food Co., knows"the state of Texas enjoys a certain mysticism and appeal in the consumer marketplace and is known for its quality cuisine, spicy food and hot sauce."
"By way of its false marketing and labeling, defendant knowingly and intentionally capitalizes on consumers’ desire to partake in the culture and authentic cuisine of one of the most prideful states in America," the lawsuit alleges. T.W. Garner Food Co replied to NBC 5 Monday afternoon and said that they were aware of the lawsuit and are looking into the claims.
"We are aware of the current lawsuit that has been filed against our company regarding the Texas Pete brand name. We are currently investigating these assertions with our legal counsel to find the clearest and most effective way to respond," the company said.T.W.
"Texas hot sauce is not a 'style' of hot sauce like Louisiana-style sauces. A hot sauce can be Louisiana-style without being made in Louisiana or containing Louisiana ingredients. Texas hot sauces, on the other hand, must be either made in Texas from ingredients sourced from Texas. A Texas hot sauce can be Louisiana-style, but it must have its own unique Texas influence and roots," the lawsuit said.
