UofG Hot Sauce Project 2021

CannonFire / Hot Tropic

A SEED TO SHELF Project

An annual 12-month project where undergraduate students of the Food Science department PLANT, GROW, HARVEST, DEVELOP, DESIGN, MANUFACTURE, LABEL and SELL two hot sauces: our classic Cannon Fire and the ever changing “Class of …” sauce which is a totally new creation of that years students.

Cannon Fire ($11.75 )

Our original sauce which we started making in 2018. Cannon Fire celebrates the University of Guelph’s naval cannon Old Jeremiah and is a fiery blast of habanero, cayenne and Trinidad scorpion peppers grown right here on campus.

Cannon Fire goes great with wings, enchiladas and eggs.

HOT TROPIC ($11.75 )

This is a special edition sauce for the Class of 2021. Pineapple, sweet and spicy chilies and tropical spices make for a delicious warming heat. Hot Tropic will only be available for this year so get it while you can!

Hot Tropic pairs well with seafood, tacos and empanadas.
