Q: "I want to order, but I'm concerned about the use of E numbers and gums in the product."

A: Xanthan gum is widely used in many common food products such as salad dressings, ice cream, soups and gravy. We need to use a small amount in our curry sauces to bind together the oils, syrups and water. Without xanthan gum our sauces would separate in the jar over time and look very unappealing.

E621 also known as Monosodium Glutimate (MSG) is widely used in lots of South East Asian cooking. It is also commonly found in the UK in stock cubes, gravy and soup mixes, crisps and snacks. We actually do not add any MSG into our products, however it is already present in the Thai seasoning that we use to add flavour and depth to our sauces.

Q: "What is the shelf life and how long do the sauces last"

A: Before posting we make sure that every sauce has at least 2months shelf life remaining. Please bear this in mind if placing a large order. We do not use any preservatives so once you open the jar, use it straight away because it will perish quickly if not stored in the fridge.
