I was over there 2 years ago.

They don't make identical batches, most of the chiles they get come from 1 time of the year.

They preblend a 55 gallon mix (Its their chile paste you can buy at the grocery store) and use that production stock for the rest of the year. They add some additives / flavors etc to make the actual srircha afterwards. Srircha only carries 3 products, chile paste, chile paste with garlic, and srircha.

Factory tour was worth it, I had to plan a month in advance but it was really cool to see. Especially how many 55 gallon jugs they store in their warehouse.

I don't know what the exact testing method they used for quality control, that part of factory was off limits and they didn't explain it either
